And immersed in the living care from their family, children are enjoying happiness all the time. Every joyful day is to be cherished in memory.

However, in order to become more responsible individuals, children should learn how to do household chores at the same time. Participating in chores is both meaningful and beneficial to child's self-development.

However, though joining in all different activities in the outdoor play structure brings a lot of merits to children; it is far from enough in this critical period of time. Grasping some practical skills is also of great significance. The most fundamental household chores may be a great practice to train children's other abilities. These household chores may include washing clothes, cleaning the floors, feeding the pet, watering the garden or preparing some simple dishes...all these duties are easy to perform but will bring about tremendous benefits to children. To a certain degree, engaging in household chores symbolizes the focal point for a child to take the initial responsibility. A strong sense of fulfillment could be felt in the meantime.
