When Children Ask: "Why Do I Have to Do This?" :Teaching Children Responsibility -The Kasayas

Описание: In this powerful and honest episode of our parenting show, we host the Kasayas, who have been married for 20 years and are raising a 10-year-old daughter with deep intentionality, faith, and purpose.

They share why they deliberately involve their daughter in everyday life—from house chores to church ministry—as a way of passing on godly values, discipline, responsibility, and service. This conversation goes beyond “helping around the house” and dives into character formation, identity, and purpose.

The couple openly discuss common parenting challenges many families face today, including:

Parents questioning why they should involve children, especially in chores

Perfectionist parents struggling when children don’t “do it neatly”

Children asking “Why do I have to do this?”

The mundane, repetitive, and seemingly unrewarding nature of chores

Children feeling chores are boring or meant for house helps, especially when comparing themselves with friends

They encourage parents to remain positive, to listen to their children’s opinions, and to use those conversations to guide them toward making wise and godly decisions. A key insight shared is recognizing when children transition from simply obeying their parents to honouring them—and how parents must intentionally guide that process.

The couple also speaks candidly about:

How they discipline differently as parents and how they find balance

Influencing the friendships their daughter forms

Why parents should be friendly with their children’s friends, because these are the relationships children have chosen

The reality that when your child is attractive in character, people will naturally be drawn to them

They conclude with a powerful reminder to parents everywhere:
👉 Children are created for a reason. Don’t turn them into idols—or you’ll miss the reason they were created.
Instead, do life with them.

This episode is a must-watch for parents who desire to raise children who are grounded in faith, rich in values, and clear about their God-given purpose.
