C

①A well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that children who do chores can become more independent and successful when they grow up. In fact, chores are very important to children’s future development, as they bring many benefits.
②When children do chores, they can get a sense of achievement because they can easily see the results after finishing the chores. Especially when their parents say thanks for their help and tell them they have made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active in helping others outside of the family.
③What’s more, they will learn that it is everyone’s duty to take part in the household chores. It helps to stop them from growing up spoiled (惯坏). Life doesn’t simply offer everything on a plate. It takes much effort to turn what we want into reality.
④Besides, they will learn how to manage their time through chores. Household chores are part of life as long as we breathe and doing chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to include them in their day with all other activities such as studies and play. Time management is a useful skill to have in adult life, too. When they grow up, they need to balance different parts of their life like work and family.
⑤Chores also teach important life skills. Chores are usually related to household tasks—washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed, etc. These are all life skills that children need to develop before they head out on their own, and the only way to learn is by doing.
⑥Chores aren’t just about keeping the house clean. They’re life lessons and a must for kids!
