00:00Welcome back Sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about science-backed benefits of chores for children.
00:15Time to put those kids to work and not just to lighten your load.
00:18Research shows chores are really good for them. Even little ones, starting at age 2,
00:23can help with things like picking up toys, feeding the dog, or wiping counters.
00:26And yes, sometimes their help isn't exactly helpful, but it's still worth it.
00:32One major study followed nearly 10,000 kids from kindergarten to third grade.
00:36It showed that kids who did more chores had better academic performance,
00:39stronger friendships, and higher life satisfaction.
00:42Another study from the Australian Occupational Therapy Journal found that children aged 5 to 13
00:47who did household tasks like packing their own lunch or helping with dinner had better working
00:51memory and stronger self-control. And for kids with chronic health conditions,
00:55A third study found that chores help them communicate better with doctors and become
00:58more ready to manage their health on their own.
01:01Want to get started? Here are a few tips.
01:041. Start young. Even toddlers can pitch in.
01:072. Keep it routine. Set chores as part of daily life.
01:103. Don't sweat perfection. Praise the effort, not the result.
01:144. Be clear. Instead of clean your room, try, put your toys on the shelf.
01:19Need ideas?
01:20The Child Development Institute has age-based chore lists you can check out.
01:23Chores aren't just helpful, they're powerful learning tools.
01:27So yes, it's totally okay to hand your kid the broom.
01:30Thanks for watching, Sunbro.
