Chores aren’t about raising “helpful kids.”
They’re about building capable, confident, resilient humans.

When children contribute at home, they’re not just learning how to clean or cook—they’re developing:
🧠 Executive functioning (planning, sequencing, follow-through)
💪 Self-efficacy and competence
❤️ A sense of belonging and responsibility
🧩 Problem-solving and emotional regulation

Research shows that children who regularly participate in age-appropriate chores develop greater independence, stronger work ethic, and higher long-term life skills—even predicting better outcomes in adulthood (Rossmann, 2002).

Chores tell a child:
"You matter here. You’re capable. You’re part of this family."
