<br />THE TEACHING PRO
<br />
<br />Teach kids the value afthings at early age
<br />
<br />BY ROBIN SARANTOS
<br />Special to The Miami Herald
<br />Woe to the parent who
<br />neglects to teach
<br />their children
<br />responsibility,
<br />Walking daily through
<br />well-kept
<br />neighbor-
<br />hoods with
<br />manicured
<br />gardens, it is
<br />amazing to
<br />witness the
<br />things
<br />youngsters
<br />leave outside
<br />in their front
<br />SARANTOS yards next to
<br />the road - for thieves to pick
<br />up,
<br />Do the parents have
<br />unlimited funds? Do they not
<br />work hard to provide for their
<br />offspring?
<br />Will that Razor scooter be
<br />
<br />
<br />simply replaced ifit is
<br />declared "missing in action?"
<br />Pink roller skates, a red shirt,
<br />a baseball bat, a child's chair,
<br />a doll, an expensive remote
<br />control for a shiny little car-
<br />all spending several nights
<br />outside over the past few
<br />weeks,
<br />The good news: Thieves
<br />weren't around to take
<br />advantage,
<br />But it does raise a
<br />troubling question, As
<br />parents, do some of us think
<br />that "things" do not have to
<br />be treated with value - and
<br />picked up for safekeeping?
<br />How can we expect our
<br />youngsters to incorporate
<br />responsible habits if we do
<br />not teach them?
<br />After all, many parents
<br />have cut back in these tough
<br />economic times - delaying
<br />the visit to the hairdresser an
<br />
<br />extra week or two or renting a
<br />DVD instead of going to the
<br />movies.
<br />Many people are even
<br />ironing their own shirts and
<br />cutting back on dry cleaning,
<br />However, some parents do
<br />not consider ''taking care" of
<br />their things - as well as
<br />others' - as part of the
<br />responsibility concept.
<br />Hello? Everything costs
<br />something, Nothing is really
<br />free,
<br />Nevertheless, there is hope
<br />for those who truly want their
<br />offspring to develop into
<br />responsible individuals.
<br />Although it's better to start
<br />your children as toddlers, it's
<br />never too late to help children
<br />learn accountability.
<br />Chores can afford a perfect
<br />way to start children on their
<br />journey, Youngsters need to
<br />feel they're contributing to
<br />

<br />If
<br />
<br />the family,
<br />Come up with a list of
<br />age-appropriate household
<br />tasks and tie it in to a rewards
<br />system. For example,
<br />youngsters can bring in the
<br />garbage can and recycle bin
<br />from the curb, They can
<br />check the yard for equipment,
<br />toys and other things that
<br />need to be brought in after
<br />playtime,
<br />Children can also keep
<br />their rooms tidy, help set the
<br />table and put their dishes in
<br />the sink.
<br />They need to learn there
<br />are consequences for not
<br />taking care of personal items
<br />- which someone had to buy
<br />with hard-earned money.
<br />They must be made aware
<br />that in real life, there is no
<br />entitlement to material
<br />objects, People must work
<br />and pay bills,
<br />
<br />Being responsible means
<br />holding one's self accountable
<br />for behavior - be it fiscal or
<br />otherwise.
<br />Handling money and
<br />things responsibly needs to
<br />be taught way before that
<br />18-year-Qld packs up for
<br />college,
<br />After all, we want to help
<br />save OUf youngsters from
<br />fmandal troubles in the
<br />future - what many adults
<br />and our country are dealing
<br />with today.
