A recent study by LaTrobe University found that regular chores were associated with better executive functions – planning, self-regulation, switching between tasks and remembering instructions.
“Children who cook a family meal or weed the garden on a regular basis may be more likely to excel in other aspects of life – like schoolwork or problem solving.”
Setting up a chore system where kids can earn pocket money also helps them build financial capability and independence – and you get a second set of hands to help around the house. It’s a win-win-win situation!
