Sense of responsibility should be inculcated from a young age. Only when taught from a young age, a child grows up to be a responsible adult. I have seen many parents pampering their children and seldom giving them responsibility. Even if I advise them, they take it in a negative way so I have stopped advising. Small chores such as keeping toys in place or folding clothes help in instilling the feeling of responsibility in the child and he also feels happy when doing these as he feels as if he is also sharing the responsibility with his parents. Such children grow up to be a well balanced individual who can take their own decisions.
