Kids typically don’t love doing chores<\/a>, but if you need evidence that you should give them some household tasks to do anyway<\/a>, here it is. Dr. Williams, a board-certified pediatrician based in Utah who goes by @tiktokkiddoc on TikTok, has gone viral for his video<\/a> highlighting a 75-year study from Harvard that showed that giving kids chores is one way to help ensure they grow up to be better people.<\/p>\n

“Researchers found that if you implement this one small thing in your child\u2019s life, they\u2019re more likely to be happy as adults, they have more empathy towards other people, and they\u2019re more successful in their careers,” Williams, who is also a father of five, explained. “Having your children do chores gives them a sense of self-worth, and it helps them to realize that they\u2019re contributing to a larger ecosystem. They become more selfless. They become more willing and able to see the needs of other people around them. Chores also strengthen family bonds with siblings and with parents, and chores help to instill a better work ethic, which translates pretty well into school and career success.”<\/p>\n
