Overview

Why parents should make the effort to involve children in household tasks, and how this effort can pay off in both the short term and in adulthood is detailed in this accessible guide. Based on research that documents how doing chores makes kids more responsible and more successful in many ways as they grow up, Children and Chores explains what kids can realistically be expected to do at what ages, how to introduce chores and increase the level of responsibility as a child grows, and how to deal with children's resistance to helping.
