No child would rather spend their free time doing chores instead of playing video games or being out with their friends. But assigning chores to children from an early age not only helps them build character but it also teaches them responsibility and the importance of helping out other family members.
The dad in the video below knows just how important it is for his son to do the chores he’s assigned around the house. 9-year-old Kolt Kyler lives with his family on a farm, so there are always things to do around the house.
Kolt knows that he has to pitch in and help his family by doing his share of chores, and he usually doesn’t complain although there are surely times when he would much rather skip doing the work. He is a hard-worker, but don’t think he doesn’t have time to do fun things as well.
And his top way to relax is by watching his favorite team, the Chicago Cubs. This has been his favorite team since he was only a little boy, so his family came up with a wonderful idea to surprise Kolt and reward him for all the hard work he’s been doing around the house.
After giving him an unusually long list of chores, Kolt’s dad gave him one last “chore” which was inside an envelope. At the end of a really long day, the boy finally got his reward: tickets to go see his favorite team!
The boy’s reaction when he opens up the envelope and sees his reward is priceless! Take a look:
