RE: Do Schooling Models Need An Overhaul?
You see - this is great. It's wonderful to hear that there are more than the few parents I know who believe that their kids need some sort of responsibility and give it to them. I'm impressed that your 4 year old can do the washing so well... and cook!
I think you hit a particular nail on the head, @accio in that it is more of a first world problem. It probably boils down to necessity. If you need to hunt and cook that spider to survive, then you just do what needs to be done, but if the hard work gets in the way of playing your video games or watching Netflix, then why do it?
I've always had her help me, since she could pick things up she "helped".
Her handy work.
And as for the machines, I firmly believe if they can figure out how to get red ball across the level on their tablets they can hit the power and start buttons on a laundry machine!
Wow! She’s pretty good - you’ve taught her well. My son enjoys helping out too - setting the dishwasher, and actually, he is showing an interest every time the washing machine is turned on too.
I think this is my quote of the week! Had me chuckling for a while.
I really didn't even teach her, she just got better and better and now is a mini laundry boss. Maybe I just got lucky with a domestically gifted child, some kids can paint masterpieces or play complex piano pieces... Mine can cook and clean! XD I'll take it haha
