When Justin was a child, other children often felt sorry for him. His parents always asked him to do a lot of chores. However, when he grew up, he became more successful than others. These findings come from a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. The research suggests that kids who begin doing chores at a young age often enjoy more successful lives in the future.
There are many good reasons why children should help with chores. First, children learn practical skills such as cooking, cleaning, and organizing when they help with chores, which will serve them well throughout their lives. Besides, when kids do chores, they can understand that they are part of a team, and doing something good for it makes them feel happier because they know they are needed.
Children are often made to help with different chores and activities at school, such as cleaning classrooms and looking after class gardens. In fact, doing chores at home is equally important.
If you find chores at home boring, you might be surprised to learn that they can actually be far more enjoyable than they seem. Here is some useful advice：
★Learn To Do Small Things：Learn to do simple chores first. For example, you can wash the dishes, sweep the floor, or make your bed. Being able to look after yourself is an important part of growing up. Helping out at home also shows that you are becoming a responsible(有责任心的) person.
★Share The Work：You may suddenly feel tired if you do all the work on your own. When someone shares the chores, finishing the work becomes easier. Also, cleaning can be more fun when you work as a team.
★Make It Fun：Try to make chores enjoyable. For example, you can play music while cleaning or cooking. You can also turn cleaning into a game or compete with your family to see who finishes first. It also brings a feeling of success and makes people feel closer. Dancing together in the kitchen can make the work feel like a party.
★Offer Small Rewards(奖励)：Some parents give rewards such as candies or small toys when children help with chores. This can encourage kids to take part. However, it's important to give them different tasks from time to time so children don't get bored.
