Agree/Disagree Style Questions

“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should help their parents with household chores as soon as they are old enough. Use details and examples in your response.”

I think it’s a great idea for kids to do household chores as soon as they’re old enough.

First of all, this can teach children some really valuable skills that will come in handy later in life. For instance, I was responsible for cooking breakfast for my little brother every day before we went to school when we were both kids. As a result, when I went away to college as a teenager I stayed really healthy because I could cook my own meals instead of always going out for fast food like my friends and classmates.

Secondly, parents and children can do household chores together and this gives them a chance to bond. You know, as they work on things like cleaning dishes or cooking food they can chat, and the kids might open up about what’s going on in their lives.
