What do you think about whether parents should teach their children to help in the home?

I'd say parents should definitely involve children in household tasks, because that's how they develop practical life skills naturally. The main reason is that responsibility isn't taught through lectures-it's built through small daily actions like tidying up or helping with meals. For example, my cousin in Hangzhou started giving her 8-year-old simple tasks like setting the table, and now the child actually reminds the parents when something needs doing. That said, the chores should match their age-you can't expect a primary school kid to cook dinner alone. But starting young means they grow up seeing contribution as normal, not as some special effort.
