When the kid is born, get it used to work early as possible.
This is what I did. Taught DD responsibility from the time she could walk (started with toys get put up. her responsibility to see toys were put up nightly or they were gone in the morning-hid in a closet but she only knew they were gone. Toys did reappear after the next night when she picked up)
She is a very good worker. She loves to work hard and be able to see that she has gotten things done. In high school she was in FFA. She loved the teachers she had, and they loved her. Both of them told me on a regular basis how much they thought of her and how hard she worked at things for FFA such as the greenhouse, chicken coop, etc. DD used to fuss about some of the girls that were in FFA classes because they acted like they didn't want to get their hands dirty. She kept extra shoes at school and I had taken her changes of clothes several times especially during fair time when she would go work and clean out stalls.
My best friend of many years moved 3 years ago. DD volunteered to help her over a weekend. My friend's dad is a retired Navy man. That was the first time he had met my DD. He was so impressed with her work ethic that he still talks about it now and asks about her every time he talks to me or my friend.
She loaded boxes, unloaded boxes, stacked boxes...good and fast too! She believes in getting a job done and done well.
I am extremely proud of her and the person she is
