Household chores: good for children, good for the whole family
_
Children can learn a lot from doing household chores.
Doing chores helps children learn about what they need to do to care for themselves, a home and a family.
_
They learn skills they can use in their adult lives, like preparing meals, cleaning, organising and keeping a garden.
_
Being involved in chores also gives children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly, negotiating, cooperating and working as a team.
_
When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and responsible.
_
Even if they don’t enjoy the chore, when they keep going they get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing a task.
And sharing housework can also help families work better and reduce family stress. When children help out, chores get done sooner, and parents have less to do.
_
This frees up time for the family to spend doing fun things together.
