Even the little ones should be trained to share in the daily work, and should be made to feel that their help is needed and is appreciated. The older ones should be their parents’ assistants, entering into their plans, and sharing their responsibilities and burdens. Let fathers and mothers take time to teach their children, let them show that they value their help, desire their confidence, and enjoy their companionship, and the children will not be slow to respond. Not only will the parents’ burden be lightened, and the children receive a practical training of inestimable worth, but there will be a strengthening of the home ties and a deepening of the very foundations of character. {FLB 268.3}

Endog de små burde oplæres til at tage del i det daglige arbejde, og bør få lov til at føle at der er brug for deres hjælp og den værdsættes. De ældre bør være deres forældre assistenter, gå ind i deres planer, og dele deres ansvar og byrder. Lad fædrene og mødrene tage tid til at undervise deres børn, lad dem vise at de værdsætter deres hjælp, ønske tillid, og glæde sig over deres kammeratskab, og børnene vil ikke tøve med at besvare. Forældrenes byrde vil ikke blot blive lettet, og børnene få praktisk oplæring af uvurderlige værdi, men hjemmets bånd vil styrkes og karakterfundamenterne vil uddybes.
