They often ask the kids to help the house around. Feed our dog. Put clean dish cabinets and drawers. Cut crumbs after dinner. We are Montessori familySo many things fall in practical life, and presumably To help motor skills, Executive operation And take care of our spaces. We are also a scouting family, “How do girls look for a place?” I often do my troops often. “Better than we found!” Indeed.
But kvetching. “MooOooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. My legs don’t work.” “One of my friends doesn’t have to do this thing.” And my favorite: “I neeeeeed by Kiiiiiiid.”
Drama. But the latter complaint has echoed. Each family works differently. Some parents learn to learn how to learn children to have children, cleaning the laundry and dishes. But is there worth the value? Are these beneficial ways? Me Rebecca returned to Scharf At the University of Virginia Medical School, this question has just investigated the pediatrician.

The term “Kore” has this negative connotation, at least according to my children. What qualifies as a task?
Yes, I hear that. From my point of view, a child is something that makes a contribution to the household. They are our daily tasks that maintain our environment or help us participate in family life.
And did you decide to study how children doing tasks do?
I am both a pediatrician development, and many things I have investigated out of clinical practice. To do this, I worked with Dr. Elizabeth White White, and he and I spoke about the sensation of children, or ability, especially girls around science. We were looking for this data set and we came from these questions. Surveyors asked third-classes across the US, “I’m good math. I’m a good science.” It was a sense. I can do things. ” A part of this data set asked their parents: “Does your child have tasks?” And the children who were doing work frequently did or found it very often, as the interrogation is done, it is likely that things are seldom or ever to be able to do things in the future than children. The work we looked at in kindergarten or in the first level, and then we are looking for tertiary results that children have self-reported.
So when they were in the third level, they were similar: “I’m Badass.”
Exactly. We were looking at prosocial behavior. We were looking for peer relationships. We were looking, “Do they feel good in academics?” And children who are good in things can make the case of parents who can take the task. However, we looked all the time and hope that is also considered.
Has it been amazing that all these kids said, you know, they had more confidence?
They have not been a big difference, but I think it was interesting that they felt happier with their life and they felt better in academics. It has also been interesting to me that the concept of tasks is not only that you learn to make the work done to the family and home. It is important to think about ways of thinking about thinking about yourself or in the life of something else.
Yes, yes, yes, children clean up or clean the floor or help. The ability to develop the motor skills, raw motor skills, is useful for developing the necessary language and the necessary social negotiation.
What is social negotiation? I never heard before.
It is part of social communication. It is an important part that children learn to browse their environments as they grow. Children need to learn negotiation in the sense, they may not want to get out of the trash, so did they make dishes? Can I read my book before you do my work? That’s back and forth.
What comes next? Do you plan to see other things in the data set?
I’m not sure what plans are for this data set. But children can do so much more than you think. The works are childhood. The job is childhood. Montessori is similar to the method, but I think the giving responsibilities to children are growing young humans. The task of a child is to achieve these landmarks, these skills. I think this can be very gratifying because a child get new skills.
There are people who grow, which go to college and do not cook or clean, so some impulse or orientation are very useful. One thing I like is how we can motivate children in a positive way. How can you do something with a fun task? There are ways of feeling as an achievement. Or do we do this as a family that can be fun? There are many ways to continue to have children in a task, the audiolive modes that can be very nice this time.
I had this rule, the leaves you can jump could jump. My child took a small pile of leaves and jumped in them; And then I would go and I would really ramp and bag. I didn’t expect to do a great job. But I was trying to put that idea that hard work, hard work, came with the rewards.
That’s great. It is important to identify ways to help each child somehow. Everyone has different abilities. And if the work is not your thing, a community activity or service can give the same feeling of ability. Patients with the goal, it is so important for the child’s sense.
