In the video posted on her Instagram page, the young boy appeared focused but slightly unhappy as his mother gave him instructions.
He soaked the clothes in water, applied soap, and used his hands to scrub and squeeze out stains. After washing, he rinsed the clothes in clean water, squeezed out the excess liquid, and placed them on a basin cover in preparation for drying on the line.
The washing method he used is common in Ghana, where many households rely on handwashing instead of washing machines. Akuapem Poloo has often displayed a hands-on approach to parenting and has previously shared similar videos of her son learning basic household chores.
In the comments section, many Ghanaians applauded her for instilling discipline in the boy and preparing him for the future. Some described him as a potential 'husband material' for learning essential life skills.
Why young boys should do chores
Reacting to this in a discussion with YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, shared that it was a good thing for young boys to be trained to do household chores. He said:
"Every young boy must learn to do household chores. Failure to do so can affect your life negatively. Learning to do household chores shows how mature you are."
