In fact, allowing children to participate in labor can not only cultivate children's self-improvement, self-reliance, healthy and upward quality. It can further promote the all-round development of children. Children who have been honed by labor will better understand the difficulty of life, be more grateful, and know how to cherish the happy life now!”
