    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. It is the children tasks to show a reputation of their family. For example, a child getting good grades on his report card. The child’s good grades show a representation of a family who cares deeply for education. Another example would be a child with good manners. A child with good manners shows a representation that his/her family also has good manners and good home skills. A final example would be a child with bad behavior. A child with bad behavior presents a representation of a family who either does not care about the child, or have bad behavior too. A child actions always shows a representation of the family that is why it important task for children to show a good representation.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. In a family household, each member has a key role in what one must do. For example, in my household my key role is to cut the lawn every two weeks and take out the trash on the day it’s picked up. Those are Jobs or tasks that are given to the man of the house. To keep the grass trimmed and keeps the house looking in tip top shape. To keep the house from smelling or piling with garbage I take it out on a constant base. Nobody wants a dirty home. With each different house comes different roles each member are given. As an example of that is that my friend David; man of the house, his role is to babysit his little sister every day for 2 hours. That is the time difference of when his 11 year old sister gets home and his mother. So for those two long/short hours he has to take care of her and her needs. The roles or task given to a child can always vary. One can go from doing laundry to cooking to washing dishes. Take my girlfriend as an example; her role in her family is to clean the downstairs: sweep the floor, mop the floor, clean the furniture and organize them. Yet the task given to any child is always varied, one can always deem it to be important to the family

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks with the family. Mothers and fathers have wanted to teach their children how to be responsible, caring, giving and hardworking. So as little kids they give them weekly tasks to perform, or chores. For example, on Saturday mornings a father will take his son out to the yard and show him how to mow the lawn. What this father his trying to show his son is not how to work his father, so he can enjoy his day off, but to show him how to be responsible and go outside every Saturday morning and mow the lawn. Another example would be a mother taking her daughter to the laundry room and teaching how to wash, dry, and fold clothes. What I believe that this does to her daughter is not only to work, but even though it’s not all her clothes that need to be cleaned and folded, you need to be selfless and help out a little and give her mother a hand. A final example would be parents putting their kids to take turns washing dishes. Washing dishes is the one chore that I am sure that no body enjoys doing, but it needs to be done. What the parents are trying to show their kids is, “Hey, we spent all afternoon cooking, let’s be a team and work together, we cook, you guys clean”. It’s not about working the kids and taking advantage; it’s about disciplining their kids, and turning them into hardworking, responsible, caring young men and women. Because there is no I in team, a family needs to always be one, and work together.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. For example, in my household I am in charge of cleaning the kitchen. In the kitchen I wash all the dishes after each meal. Then I clean the kitchen counter tops, and whip all the cabinets down. My sister Sam, has to clean all the all the bathrooms in the house. There a four and half bathroom in our house, which means she has to clean five toilets, four tubs, and five sinks. My little brother ben, is in charge of sweeping the whole downstairs portion of the house, under all the furniture, tables, couches Television stands and the patio. In my family we complete these tasks on a daily bases. Doing these tasks ensure that one the house is clean and in order, and showing us the responsibility that comes with living under our parents roof. Also cleaning up every day prevents our house from ever looking disheveled .

And one way this can be aquierd is by rewarding children for good grades in school, also having certain chores around the house that must be done within a certain periods of time. Another important task is for children to be respectful to other family members, this tasks performed in the house hold help children life’s in the long run.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. For example, an older sibling may be expected to babysit the younger sibling when no one is able. The parents may be a work late at nights and other relatives may not have the time, so the older sibling is expected to step up to the plate and protect the younger sibling in their parents absent. Another example is in a family of two, the child will have to perform tasks the parent will not be able to accomplish such as cook or clean the house. The parent has an obligation to work to provide the necessities for the child, while the child has he obligation to work towards making the burden easier on the parent. A final example of how children must sometimes perform tasks within the family is when parents are going through a rough time, and the children must do everything they can to help through that tough time. It can be emotional or finical support, or anything else that can help. Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family in order to survive as one.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. Important task within the family establishes a functional relationship that tethers the bonds between family and altruism. For example, if you are responsible for taking out the trash or paying a certain bill for the house, you are strengthening the bond of your family. Undisclosed accolades will now seem revelatory, because you are performing essential incumbencies, not only for your family but for yourself. Another reason why certain tasks are essential within your family is because it teaches lessons important for life that subsumes instincts. For example, when you were a young child you would behave in a manner that was ignorant. Whether you perform actions that were meaningless, or exclaim certain words that are explicit, presumably, you were taught a technique or lesson that altered your perspective. The fact of the matter is that you are destined to succeed your mischievous and instinctive ways. Important tasks are more than tedious ultimatums, they are patterns of information that substrates the paradigm of your mind, and importantly of who you are.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. It is important for the children to spend time with the family, and one good way to do it is by performing important tasks; furthermore children should not do some activities without supervision of their parents. For example, organizing and cleaning the house are an important tasks that all the family should do it together, and children have to participate in that because it teach them responsibility. There are many other tasks that children can do with the family and it is important to share time with them.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. Children can be a great assistance to they’re parents. For example, doing household chores, taking groceries out of the car, taking care of younger siblings, and also preparing dinner. By doing these tasks, children are doing their part in the family and learning how to be more responsible for the future. My second example is, Children can provide their parents a lot of assistance while away at work. They will be able to take messages if someone call, and also receive the mail. Important task within a family is good because, as the children get older they will know the importance of running a household and it also teaches them valuable life lessons.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. Many parents see that having chores at a young age teaches kids a sort of responsibility. For example growing up some kids may have the task of washing the dishes and taking the garbage out, as much as they it hate it parents see it as getting them ready for when they have their own home to look after. If these chores were not given who knows how some of our houses would look and smell like. Furthermore, these tasks may include watching their younger siblings or taking care of the family dog. Cleaning their and making up their bed is of the most famous off all. Many pouts and stomping of the foot is acquired when doing these tasks. As much as they hate it, in the long run they all will be thanking their parents for instilling such qualities in them. I myself have done many chores as a young child and as much as I hated them, thanking my mother for teaching me them is something I have been doing a lot lately.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. Parents should teach their children how to perform choirs at home . A lot of things you know as an adult start at home as child. For example, a child should know how to clean his room. He should know that it is important to perform this task on a regular basis so he can get used to it. Another example of tasks is to help with the laundry. A child needs to know how to fix his clothes in his closet. A final example is to help his parents keep the house clean ; like washing his plate after eating in it, keeping the leaving room clean because that’s where guests are received. Those are principles that this child is going to keep for the rest of his life.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. Every family member is expected to contribute in some way with the rest of the member; usually, but no always, mother are housewife while father are income earner, and children must perform in school, and help in the house. For example, most of us had heard, as a child, the phrase; “your job is going to school”, at least I did, but going to school is not a job; what parent really meant is that it was expected from us to become an educated adult, or obtain a higher education even higher than they have. Another important task is helping in the house. Their help not only lessened parent tasks, but unconsciously create the sense of responsibility. After a task is assigned to the children, and he or she performed it often, the child assumed the role of contributor toward the family. Finally and most important, many kids want to have a pet; pets are cute, nice and friendly, but parents kwon the responsibility involve in caring for a pet. When the child become the caregiver of a life such as: small dog or cat, they learn a valuable lesson of dependency and love. Each family is different, and children behave in the way that they were taught. However, when children performed tasks as a family member, they learned about responsibility,love and moral values.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. They need to help their parents with some of the duties in the house. For example, some parents train their children to take care of their room and to do some house keeping on the other rooms. Moreover,those children practice how to clean and organize the furniture. They also wash dishes,sweep, and mop. Furthermore, children need to perform the good habits they have learned from their parents. They should have the routine of organizing a succesful day. For instance,some parents teach their children,especially when it’s not a school day,to organize their school paper, or they need to have their homework completed.They need to get prepared for the next day according to their plans. Those habits are helpful for children, and they can be grown as reponsible children.Therfore, it is important for them to achieve some tasks within the family.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. The tasks carried out by children within the family may be classified as negative or positive. For example, the involvement of children or adolescents in jobs that neither threaten their health and personal development nor interfere with their schooling is considered positive. These include: the assistance to parents with the house, the collaboration in a family business or the tasks carried out outside school hours or during the holidays to earn pocket money. These activities are enriching to the development of children and the welfare of the family; they provide them with skills and experience. It also helps them prepare to become productive members of society when they are adults. On the other hand, there are children who are subjected to slavery by their family. Children whom are exposed to serious hazards and illnesses, abandoned to their fate at home because their parents are too poor and have to go to work. They also have to perform tasks that may cause danger to them; and take care of themselves and their siblings. It is important to teach children to do work at home in order for them to be good citizens in the future. But most importantly, they must work accordingly to their age, and not be exposed to risks.

    Sometimes children must perform important tasks within the family. On one hand, they can clean their room, wash the dishes if they can reach the kitchen sink, and try to keep some objects in their place. On the other hand, they can watch their younger brothers and sisters. For example, when they wake up in the morning, they can fix their bed, and put everything in their respective place, and getting themselves ready to go to school without their parents help. Another example, they can prepare their own breakfast. Throw the garbage away. Furthermore, they can help their younger brothers and sisters do their homework, avoid that they touch dangerous stuff such as electric wires or things that can harm them. Moreover, the children can try to help their parents with all that they are doing; such as bring to their parents anything they may need while they are busy etc…. When the children help their parents like that at an early age, it will give them a sense of responsibility, and they will be mature really fast; which will help them to stay away of so much trouble that will have negative impacts in their lives.

    Sometimes children must perform important task within the family. Preparing children to be responsible in the future is probably the most important goals for a parent. A good education in a young age will help the child to understand important values. Like, when a child starts learning that he has to take care of their own belongings; thus, toys must be keeping in an appropriate place after he played with them, which give the opportunity for the parent to teach responsibility and respect for their own stuff. Another essential task is improving a positive reinforcement, because is one way to show them that he or she is doing a great job (giving a reward extra time watching TV or playing online games). Those are important roles for a child to be considering a good education in the future.
