Be careful what you say around your children, even at an early age. Do not communicate that. You could hold the dustpan for me. Do not let work sound like a negative in front of your children if you can possibly help it. If you have difficulty feeling enthusiasm for work, pray for the enthusiasm and positive feeling you need to pass on to your children.
Work is a privilege.
Just imagine that you are quadriplegic or imprisoned in a cell for your faith or have a hurt back and can't work. Imagine your frustration at not being able to do all that you are now able to do. If you imagine these scenarios, both very real for some people in the world today, you will begin to understand what a privilege it is to have a healthy body which is able to do physical work and do it well. With this renewed mentality, you will be better able to pass on to your children an enthusiasm for physical work and responsibility. Young children learn best to work and develop responsible habits in company with you.
