Teaching your child responsibility helps build character and makes her a more independent, self-reliant person. As she grows, remember to let her responsibilities evolve.

Let Them Help You
Show Kids the Way First, you can demonstrate how to complete small tasks.If your son wants a snack, show him where the apples are and how to wash one off. Make responsibilities age-appropriate.
Praise Them Keep up positive vibes by offering specific praises for actions. "You hung your coat on the hook and I'm proud of you!"
Manage Your Expectations When you ask a five-year-old to make her bed, it may still be lopsided. Don't criticize. Recognize a job well done. The next time you make your own bed, show her how you do it.
Teach Consequences If your kid is unable to perform a particular task then he may have to suffer its consequences. For eg : if your son does not clean up after finishing his project work, inform him that he won't be able to play with his crayons and scissors until the next day if he leaves a messy table. The more you enforce the rules, the more likely he is to clean up without being asked.
