NoahVerses to remember
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
A little context
Luke 16:10 speaks of trustworthiness in little and much. Applying it to a child's task should keep the responsibility small and appropriate, rather than copying an adult's burden.
