Brilio.net - In family life, parents have a very important role in educating and guiding their children. Both father and mother have an obligation to provide learning to their children so that they become good, responsible and reliable individuals.
The importance of a child knowing his or her obligations within the family has also been discussed by parenting expert John Gottman in his book "Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child". From the research he conducted, Gottman believes that a child will have a good relationship with his parents if he understands his responsibilities at home.
"Children who have a good understanding of their obligations at home tend to have better relationships with their parents and a better ability to be responsible," says one quote in the book, published in 1998 and 240 pages thick.
Thus, parents have a responsibility to teach their children about obligations at home. This will certainly help shape the child's character.
If you already have a good personality at home, it is possible that your child will become a good, responsible and reliable person in society. It all starts from the family, and parents play a major role in the education and guidance process of their children.
So, to find out more about what children's responsibilities are at home, brilio.net summarized it from various sources on Friday (2/2) and will review it in full in the following article. Here are 10 children's obligations at home that must be known and important to understand from an early age.

Cleaning yourself and maintaining personal hygiene is the most important obligation at home. Parents must understand to their children the importance of maintaining cleanliness. Every day the child has the obligation to shower, brush his teeth, wash his hands, tidy up his room, throw away the rubbish in its place and clean the toilet after use.
As a family member, the child certainly needs to be invited to participate in various household chores. Activities to help parents, such as making the bed, washing dishes, mopping the floor, and cleaning the yard, are things that need to be taught to the child.
A child who has been admitted to an educational institution such as a school must of course be reminded that they have a responsibility to learn and complete school assignments. Studying various subjects is not just to achieve ranking in class, but to show that the child has kept the trust of the teacher and parents.

In various ethical perspectives throughout the world, respecting parents is mandatory and indisputable. The child is obliged to respect, listen and follow the orders and suggestions of his parents as a form of appreciation for their role in the family.
Not arguing or going against parents is the next obligation after the child respects his parents. Children are expected not to argue or go against their parents as long as what they say does not violate applicable norms and laws. The child also has an obligation to respect their opinions and decisions.
At home, children who have siblings certainly have an obligation to respect each other and share love. Meanwhile, for large families, the child will of course be introduced to his grandfather's siblings. Just like treating siblings, cousins must also be respected and loved.

Every family that lives in a house almost certainly has neighbors who live next door. Apart from being obliged to maintain security and order at home, the child also has an obligation to do the same with his neighbors. Apart from that, children also need to be taught not to do things that could harm themselves or others.
Parents must teach their children that sharing is beautiful. The child is expected to learn to share with siblings or other family members. Apart from that, children can learn to be cooperative individuals in terms of kindness.
The next lesson for parents is that children have an obligation to look after the various furniture in the house. Apart from that, children must be taught from an early age to obey applicable regulations.

The final but equally important obligation is that a child must always show gratitude to parents and other family members for all the kindness they receive.
