Mostly, chores are not liked by kids, but for parents this is a great opportunity to get extra help around the house. Household chores have several benefits for the children. Chores teach children responsibility and the importance of helping their parents.
Many parents want to prolong childhood as long as possible, allowing their children to "be kids" and enjoy plenty of playtimes while they are still young. Others may regard children as incompetent, preferring to complete housework as quickly and efficiently as possible. These arguments make sense, but they overlook the numerous benefits of assigning chores to children.
In the early 1900s, Dr. Maria Montessori initiated the Montessori Method. It is, basically, a student-centered method of education where the activities are normally led by the children. The classrooms normally have children from different age groups and there is a sense of independence among the learners.
NAIDOC initially stood for ‘The National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. NAIDOC Week is organised in Australia in July every year. The idea behind celebrating NAIDOC week is to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' accomplishments, their history, and cultural insights. It is an open week for all people. All the Australians are invited to celebrate.
