Work Doesn’t Need to be a Four Letter Word
Children need to be taught work is not only the way to meet daily needs but is also the way to develop resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, a sense of confidence, and personal worth. Often, adults who aren’t given opportunities to perform meaningful work find their self-esteem suffers greatly.
Your children’s work ethic
is developed through your example and other role models. If you demonstrate enthusiasm and creativity
in your work and talk about the positive benefits of work, your children are likely to adopt this same attitude. However, if you regard work as an unfair burden and mere drudgery, your children will probably see it the same way.
Note some ways you can demonstrate to your children that work is a positive and fulfilling experience that brings joy and satisfaction.

“Work is an extension
of personality. It is achievement. It is one of
the ways in which a person defines himself, measures his worth, and his humanity.”
~ Peter F. Drucker
