Script
Presenter: The fact that the family was ruined by everyday life can become not only a cause of disagreement but also a break in relations. But everything can and should be different. Today, hard physical labour has remained in a lot of narrow specialisations, since most of the complex production processes have switched to automatic mode. Unfortunately, it does not apply to household chores. Yes, washing machines and other household appliances help us. But, in contrast to this fact, there is debilitating mental and psychological stress at work. It turns out that it is advisable to divide responsibilities around the house and evenly delegate to each member of the family.

Professor Johnson: But what if your family doesn't support you?

Presenter: It is possible that the idea of division of duties will not be supported by everyone and not at once. Especially if, up to this point, one of the spouses suffered from excessive altruism, and the rest used it. At first, it is important to convey to loved ones the idea that the distribution of responsibilities is normal and natural. And mutual assistance in the family maintains enthusiasm and brings relatives together. The process of restructuring for life in the family time management mode presupposes a forward movement. At the same time, it is important to maintain calmness and respect for each other, even if something does not work out right away.

Professor Johnson: It's clear how to sort things out with your spouse. What about children?

Presenter: As for the youngest members of the family, do not hesitate to entrust them with things with which they already quite cope. The responsibilities of children include not only arousing affection in their parents. A child from six years old can already serve himself in many household chores. For example, he can collect toys in his room or carry his plate. Help with food preparation is also encouraged. And here the result is not so important as the motivation for action. Encourage your child to be industrious and focus his attention on the fact that loved ones need help. It is a valuable investment in building his personality and your future relationships.

Professor Johnson: As a psychologist, I can add that in order to avoid possible scandals in the future, it is important to formulate clear rules and values for the family. Psychologists say that this is one of the best methods of forming positive relationships in any team (the family, after all, is also a team). But just formulating is not enough. They need to be written down and approved.

Presenter: You are absolutely right. But the initially established list of responsibilities may in fact undergo changes since it is impossible to predict everything. In this case, adherence to principles will play a bad joke with you. Be flexible about situations. For example, exchange responsibilities or make indulgences if you see that a person, with all their efforts, could not do something. Indeed, mutual understanding and mutual assistance in the family is much more important than strict adherence to the rules.

Professor Johnson: Should I somehow be rewarded for helping?

Presenter: Men and children are very emotional. Therefore, it is important for them to feel significant in your eyes. Especially if they contribute to the improvement of the home. Your gratitude can be expressed in more than just words. It is more perceptible when it manifests itself in actions although one does not cancel the other. The reward can be a joint outing to the cinema, cafe. And do not forget about the elementary manifestations of love. Hugs and kisses must be present in your relationship. These are small beacons that strengthen a person in the understanding that he is important and in demand.

Professor Johnson: Thank you for your interesting ideas. It was very pleasant to talk to you.

Presenter: My pleasure
