“We call them chores, but for children they’re wonderful activities.” says Ms. Wood.

Why do children like things like sweeping and washing windows? For starters, they love to be involved. They are also using big muscles, cross-body coordination, and developing task-persistence!

Re-think how you view chores and your child will happily get more involved.
