In modern society, people have paid

In modern society, people have paid great attention to the growth of their children. There is a controversy over whether parents should encourage children to take part-time jobs or not. The answers vary from one person to another. From my point of view, I think that encouraging children to take part-time jobs is one of the best ways for parents to help their teenage children prepare for adult life. My writing below will strengthen my view-point.

In the first place, what I put as my priority is that children can learn responsibility when they do part-time jobs. It cannot be denied that when you work as an employee, you must follow the working schedule. It means that every day you have to come to work on time. For example, if your work starts at 8 a.m. you have to be there at 8 a.m. It doesn’t matter if you went to a party the night before and do not want to get up. You have to get up. On the other hand, if you work for a restaurant or a store, you will learn how to serve customers in a friendly manner. Customers are gods and some of them are very fastidious. If you are not friendly and persuasive, your restaurant or store will lose business and you might lose your job.

In the second analysis, through part-time jobs, children can learn the value of money. It is apparent that children often get money from their parents, but they do not realize how hard their parents work for that money. When children work, they will begin to appreciate how difficult it can be to make money. Knowing that it takes a lot of time and effort to make money, children will make wiser choices when buying some things with their own money. Also, when children spend their money for personal objects, they will appreciate them more than if they had gotten money from their parents.

Last but not least, children can practice team-working skills when they work as a member of a team. The fact is that nowadays, there are many jobs that require employees to cooperate as a team. Working children will learn how to share their works and count on each other to complete the work on time. In addition, children will learn many good characteristics of friendship. If one of the team members is sick or gets personal troubles, the others are willing to help him, and do extra work to compensate. This is a very great experience for children and helps them become more mature.

In summary, taking into account all of the reasons discussed above, we could reach the final conclusion that taking a part-time job can benefit teenager children a lot. They will learn responsibility, the value of money and skills of working as part of a team. I strongly recommend that parents should take my analysis into consideration to encourage their children to take part-time jobs to prepare them for better adult lives.
