Nobody likes to do chores, especially kids. How can you make your kids get into a good habit of doing their chores? Try making chores fun for them.

    Play some music: Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn't it? Play your kids' favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.

    Make it a treasure hunt（寻宝）：It's a good way when you would like them to clean the house. Let them know that you hide（隐藏）a $5 bill someplace. If they find it, they can keep it.

    Change often: If your kids keep doing the same chores for months, they may feel bored. Teaching them a new task（任务）is fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task.

    Do it together: It's never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else relaxing. If everyone takes part in doing chores, you will finish them faster and have more fun.

    Should teenagers help their parents do chores? If you want to be an independent one, or you don't want your parents to be too tired, do chores at home.

    I have a classmate called Li Ting. She is the only child in her family. Her parents love her so much that they don't let her do any chores. On weekdays she gets up, has meals, goes to school, has lessons, comes back home, does homework and goes to bed. While on weekends, she only plays with her friends. So she doesn't know how to do chores. One day, her father was badly ill and was in hospital. Her mother had to take care of her father in the hospital and couldn't cook meals for her for a week. Li Ting didn't know how to cook meals. She had a lot of trouble cooking meals and often felt hungry. She only had instant noodles（方便面）for her meals. From the story we know it's important for us to learn to do chores and other skills from now on.
