Child Labor (the good kind)

Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated in honor of grownups for the work they do all year (and to mark the end of summer). Today, honor the work that your children do, too. Maybe they help with yard work, fill the compost bin, take out the recycling bins, or feed the family pet. Whenever you see them ‘working’ around the house, make sure to thank them for all they do. Show appropriate appreciation for your child’s hard work, for they, too, are great contributors to society. Help them to recognize and feel the true dignity associated with hard work.
