The small children can learn about team work and sense of responsibility if they are made responsible from the beginning. The household run smoothly and successfully only if all the members are equally responsible for the chores to be done at home. The chores if delegated properly can create a sense of unity in a family. The parents are responsible to allocate the work according to the age and ability or else there will be arguments around the house and you will never find peace.

Let the child, decide which chores he wants to do first and let them have the say in allocation of the chores. Most of the household chores are not enjoyed by children, but a sense of responsibility will make them do it and possibly enjoy it. This will also lessen the burden on the parents in keeping the household running. Once the children have decided what sort of chores they want to do. See to it that they perform it well and show them where the improvement is required while praising them for the work done.

Also make sure the child known that he will be punished if the work is done half heartedly. Make sure the child understands the need for the chores effective and efficient completion. Set the punishments for the work not completed or half done. Make the child understand the consequences of the work not done in the family.

The open air helps the human being to grow, more so in the case of infants. The child’s room or nursery should be well ventilated and kept clean at all times. The nursery should get free supply of both the air and light. The child should never be kept in a cold and humid surroundings. To save them from the cold, we should wrap them in a blanket.

The infants should be given fresh air and they should be taken out regularly, Of course the timing will depend on the climate outside. Usually early morning sun is the best for the infants. Even if you are unable to take your child outside in the open air, if the child’s room is well ventilated and aired is enough for them to play in. If you have a delicate child then you will need to take care of them and keep them away from the cold or humid climate. But if the child is healthy then you can take them in the open on a regular basis.

Of course, even if the child is very strong and healthy take care and do not allow them to be in the open cold and damp conditions as they then can catch a cold. This may be the cause of lingering diseases like cough and cold in the infants.
