When you teach your children responsibility, then you will be getting them ready for the real world. They need to learn that in the real world, not everything is done with them. They will have to do things for themselves. Now, I’m not saying you should go Dutch on them, but you should definitely help them out.

When a child learns how to be responsible, I believe they are less prone to accidents. When a child is not responsible, then they go through more accidents. How many of you agree with me on this one?

In many cases, the child will learn to think before they act. For example, if you teach your child responsibility at a young age, when it comes to sex as a teenager, because they are responsible, they will be sure to wear a condom first or avoid having sex.
Those are 8 reasons why you should teach your children responsibility. I believe these are some pretty good reasons. Can any of you think of other reasons to teach a child to be responsible?
