Is it proper for children engaging in some kind of paide work?  

I think, once they are in secondary school, it is good
if they are given some opportunity to work. Being paid
to work is a great way to motivates them. It is a good
experience too. They will learn to appreciate the money
they earned. My only worries is, some might prefer to
work when they see monies and lost focus in studies. It
is good that they have part time job during school holiday.

I have two nephews who are exposed to working experience
during school holiday. They are very successful now due to
the practical work experience that they gain, they are more
mature in their thinking than those at their same age group
without working experience.

Cheers and take care :)

I think it is good, there's nothing wrong if the children works when they are free. They can get experience of the working environment, they would understand the value of money.

But the focus must not be on the earnings, the focus must be on the study and enjoying the childhood situation. I think childhood situation is the big Money of our life, we are not gonna have it again. So I would say that doing some work part time it is Okay, but focus must be on the study and childhood situation. Let the child enjoy his most valuable time which he is not gonna have in future.

Children at the age of studying if engaged in work is a wrong thing. But during his highschool studies, in his free time if he doing paid work it will be very nice. Studies together with earning makes children more active and self motivated.

In my country children are not allowed to work if they are under 13. When children are between 13 and 18 they are allowed to work, but the rules are very strict. Only certain kinds of jobs are allowed, they are only allowed to work a certain number of hours per week, they are not allowed to work late at night etc.

All those rules are meant to protect the children. When I was a child I didn't like those rules, because they prevented me from working as much as wanted to, but as an adult I have a different opinion, and I think that it is neccesary to have some rules.

I think that it is a good thing that children get work experience, but it is also important that they don't work so much that they neglect other parts of their lives, and it is important to protect children against work-related accidents. There are children who have died in those kinds of accidents, because they didn't get proper instructions etc, so safety is very important.

Well not in my country, in my country if they are under 18 they need a work permit. But once they are 18 and over they can work any time they wish. It's just how it goes. But yeah not I am 28 so of course I can work!! ha ha no longer am I a child.
