How do I respond when a fourteen-year-old says "I don't wash the dishes, it's a very lowly thing"?

The reason why children have such a value cognition is actually closely related to family education.

Perhaps parents have not cultivated their children's hard-working and simple qualities and responsibilities from an early age. Such children basically grow up in doting arrogance and habitual upbringing.

In their consciousness, they simply do not understand what is called hard work and simplicity, what is called labor to create value, and what is called responsibility.

Since children have such a value cognition, the most urgent thing is not to say how to respond to children, but to let children know that there is no distinction between high and low labor, and that the needs of life and a good life are created by hard work and sweat.

There are three things you can talk to your child about.

First, you can ask your child, where does everything your family have, and where does his living materials such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation come from? Where did his school fees and annual expenses, as well as the money he reached out to his parents, come from? This truth must be explained to the child, so that he knows that what he has and everything he enjoys is not innate, nor does it fall from the sky, but is created by parents through their hands and hard sweat.

Second, you can discuss with your child the question, if you leave the support of your parents, without all the living materials and sources of life provided by your parents, can he survive at the age of 14? You can ask the child, without the parental support and all that is provided, what ability does he have to survive? What ability to create a life for yourself? This problem must be clearly discussed with the child, so that he must understand in his heart that everything he has now is given to him by his parents, and he cannot live without his parents.

Third, discuss the issue of family responsibility with the child, and every member of the family should bear certain responsibilities for the family. Parents work hard and work hard to earn money to raise their children, so as children, how much housework can be undertaken in the family should be actively and consciously undertaken. Doing housework is not only a matter for parents, but also for children. Taking on housework is a responsibility that family members must fulfill.

Only by thoroughly talking to the child about the above three aspects, talking clearly, talking thoroughly, and talking about his heart, can he truly understand how to cherish and understand things, and will he not be so ignorant.
