Chores=Future?

Researchers have concluded that children who perform chores at a young age are more likely to maintain a strong and healthy relationship with their family and friends. Parents are teaching kids of this generation that success and achievements is more important than caring for others.As Dr. Weissbourd said, "We are out balanced." Honestly my children perform chores around the house since they were young. But parents these days don't require their children to do chores, they focus on things that bring success rather than household chores. I fully support that they are focusing on their child's future but you need to fit in chores in that schedule because it lets children know that they are making an impact in or around the house while they are performing chores. Researchers have found that the younger the start cores better, preferably ages 3-4. When speaking to your young ones it say it makes a big difference being called a "Helper" and "Helping". Children will be motivated by the word "Helper" rather than "Helping" because they make an impact and they have a "Positive Identity." THis article is rather reflective on my children have also been doing chores from a young age and they enjoy them.
