From Heloise, who writes a column begun by her mother: “Dear Readers: Here is a letter of thought from the Heloise Files that was printed many years ago. I hope you find it heartwarming:
‘Dear Heloise: Gather your children around you and teach them how to enjoy work. My three children and I can clean the house four times as fast as I can by myself, and they are all elementary school age.
‘I see no better way of saving both time and energy and at the same time, helping children to learn how to happily accept responsibility than to teach them when they are young.
‘The world will be a much happier place for them as adults. And, one added plus: I know they will save time and energy as parents themselves by teaching their children to do the same. What better legacy could I give them to pass on? –Janice’
Each of you can do that!!
