Is doing chores important? There are more benefits than you can imagine. Kids can not only get some skills, but they can also get a sense of satisfaction. According to a 75-year Harvard University’s study, kids who often do the chores will have more chances to be successful.

How many hours do kids do the chores at home every day?
China	0. 2
Japan	0. 4
France	0. 5
Britain	0. 6
America	1. 2

In fact, helping at home is a universal thing. Everyone in the family should play a part in doing the chores. Luckily, our country has realized the importance of labour education. People’s Daily also gives us a chore chart for kids at different ages.

To help kids get all-round development, we cannot overlook the importance of labour. Just as teenagers are often told, “Do your own work and get ready to help others.” Let’s start to take action now!

Kids aged 5 to 6 years old

◇Make the bed properly.    ◇Put their own things away.     ◇Learn to group things.

Kids aged 7 to 9 years old

◇Do the dishes.     ◇Clean their rooms.    ◇Get things ready for school.

Kids aged 12 years old and up
