Benefits of doing housework 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 house and a family. They learn skills that they can use in the 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, 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. Sharing housework can also help family work better and reduce family stress. When children help out, chores get done more quickly, and parents have less to do. This frees up time for the family to do fun things together. In order to get children involved in chores, it is best to start by choosing chores that works for children’s ages and abilities. Chores that are too hard can be frustrating, and chores that are too easy might be boring. If children are old enough, we can have a family discussion about chores. This can reinforce the idea that the whole family contributes to how the household runs. 11. Doing chores can have children have some benefits EXCEPT __________.

Benefits of doing housework 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 house and a family. They learn skills that they can use in the 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, 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. Sharing housework can also help family work better and reduce family stress. When children help out, chores get done more quickly, and parents have less to do. This frees up time for the family to do fun things together. In order to get children involved in chores, it is best to start by choosing chores that works for children’s ages and abilities. Chores that are too hard can be frustrating, and chores that are too easy might be boring. If children are old enough, we can have a family discussion about chores.
