There will be something that your child loves to do like making arrangements for the dinner, if your child likes it then encourage him/her in doing it. Teach your child to keep their toys at proper place after playing. You can also ask them to take care of their siblings when you are busy in kitchen or garden.
When they know how to act responsible while they are growing up, it will really help them in growing up as responsible adults. Time and again give your child responsibilities in helping you while at home, this will increase their confidence. You should take some time out and talk with your child about various responsibilities that he/she has and what are the anticipations of the family from them. As soon as the work gets completed devote quality time playing with your child which will make them feel good.
Best way to teach responsibility to children is to invite them in every little chores of house or every tiny decision of yours, such as ask them what color they think is good for the garage or what do they should be on priority list for grocery. Ask them to observe you when you paint garden fence or repair your car’s engine. Give them money and ask them to think of the best way to spend them and save them.
When your child learns to weed and water the garden he learns the importance of doing things independently and responsibly. When you allocate the work for your child it helps in creating self- inspiration. It helps in developing important proficiencies in the child and prepares them for the adult hood. If your child has worked in the house then he/she will grow up to become a responsible employee and in other fields of the life.
