Kids start helping out with adult sized tasks at an early age here, it’s just part of family life. When I was a kid, I remember helping with the housecleaning and various chores, but my responsibilities were more to teach me responsibility and maybe to get a particular job done quicker, for example, painting the house, than to actually help the family survive. Here, the work for a child might sometimes be fun, but mostly it’s about pitching in and helping with the huge work load just to keep a family fed and taken care of.
