Part Four: Harmony Within the Family
to help one another. Ideally, our children will not stay angry
at each other for very long because, when their pockets are
empty, they will have to help each other with their work.
In order for children to communicate with us, and with
one another, they should be assigned tasks together in order to
get the job done. The communication will loosen any tension
and ill feelings that they may have toward one another which
will always bring about good results.
If we have a hired maid, s/he can do the main household
chores. However, children should always be responsible to
do their own personal chores. This will give the siblings a
chance to openly discuss the best ways to complete their tasks
and instill a proper sense of work ethic and family bond.
This technique must be used when children are still young.
If we spoil our children, they will grow up to be choosy
and complaining adults! Thus when society suffers from a
surplus of unwholesome people, we first need to address the
problem by reflecting on the sharing responsibility that we
are instituting in our own home!
