Days before the pandemic, most of us are guilty of not investing enough time for our loved ones, friends, parents, and most especially our kids. Due to a lot of responsibilities and expectations the world has on us, it seems almost impossible to manage schedule properly and allot enough time even to those that matter most. Good thing life has allowed us to alter that problem now.
With the unlimited time you have and another chance to be with your kids, why not make the most out of it by teaching them things they can value for the rest of their lives? Here are some of those you can consider.
TEACH YOUR KIDS TO DO HOUSEHOLD CHORES
You might think that teaching your kids to sweep, vacuum, wash the dishes, feed your pets, and do the laundry are never that beneficial at all. But did you know that experts say those things could help your kid improve especially when it comes to their emotional intelligence?
Doing household, even the simple ones, can help your kids become responsible and independent. It could also help them value teamwork and work ethics, exercise respect, and improve planning skills, as reported by Momentum Life.
TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO COOK
Teaching your kids the whereabouts in the kitchen, how to cook food, and how to prepare your family's meal don't just give you a chance to bond as a family. It can also allow your kids to see through the food they eat.
You need not have to teach your child to handle the cooking just yet if you think he is still not ready for it. You may start from simple things like, collecting, washing, and preparing the ingredients. Or simply ask them to defrost some meat. The choice is yours.
TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO MANAGE TIME
Time is very important and every second wasted is an opportunity lost. So it is crucial to train your kids to value it no matter what age they are, as advised by Business Insider.
You can start your training by asking your kids to list down things they should do every day and create their daily schedule out of it. Experts say, by doing so, you are not just helping your kids maximize their time during quarantine, but the training could also teach them how to prioritize tasks, plan things, and become more productive in the future.
