An 85-year-long study conducted by Harvard Research has found a strong connection between doing chores and later professional success and happiness. The findings showed that shared responsibilities help children develop greater self-worth, confidence, work ethic, and empathy for others. Waldorf Education encourages parents to have children help with household chores at home and incorporates chores into daily life at school. Starting in our early childhood program, students engage in practical, meaningful work, including cooking, gardening, and maintaining their classroom and play areas. Waldorf Education aims to guide each student to a life of creativity, compassion, and confidence. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #chores #science #biology #childhood #responsibilities #workethic
