PART 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions below. ⇱
Chores are not only housework, they also help children grow. When kids do chores, they learn important life skills and feel good about themselves. Helping at home shows them that their work has value and that they are part of the family. This gives them more confidence.
Doing chores also teaches children how to plan, organize, and finish tasks. For example, setting the table or sorting clothes helps them practice following steps and managing time. Chores also train kids to wait for rewards. Instead of playing right away, they finish cleaning and then enjoy a tidy room. This builds self-control and patience.
Chores are also good for mental health. When children see the result of their work, they feel proud and happy. They understand that their help makes a difference. In the long run, chores prepare kids for the future. They learn how to cook, clean, and take care of themselves, which makes them ready for independent life as adults.
Parents can start with simple jobs for toddlers, like putting toys away, and give harder tasks as kids grow. It is important to give praise, focus on effort, and make chores fun. With this support, chores become a way to build confidence, responsibility, and independence
