By allowing children, even as young as two, to help out with housework, you not only help them learn the basic life skills theyll need as adults (成年人), but also make them feel like they are a necessary part of the family. Christine Field, writer of Life Skills for Kids, says its important for parents to ask children to take part in household chores. “When my son was about one year old, he loved to be with me when I was folding clothes,” said Field, a lawyer-turned-full-time mom, to the newspaper. “Of course, he wasnt any help. But I would still give him towel man. He folds all the towels and puts them in the closet. He feels like he is needed. He feels like he is depended on.” Letting your children help you with tasks also gives you time to teach them and feel close to them. Put a playful spin on chores. Whether its cleaning up to a favorite tune or turning housework into a game, kids will be more active to do chores if fun is part of the job. Experts (专家) give the following suitable chores for young children: * Pick up and put away personal items (toys, clothes). * Do the laundry, of fold clothes. * Make the bed. * Set the table. * Water plants. * Feed pets.( )45The writer thinks children can do housework even when they are as young as _.
