Chores Support Executive Functions: Here’s How
In my book, 50 Tips to Help Students Succeed, I devote a chapter to chores. Not only are chores important for teaching adult skills like cooking, cleaning and managing money, but they also support our child’s executive functions.
The infographic below is taken from page 140, and describes the specific executive functions that are engaged when doing or planning chores. I hope you find it enlightening!
