他少年时就已被誉为一名出色的年轻音乐家。
75 years—that's how long it took to conduct the Harvard Grant Study that revealed the state of success and happiness depends on two things: love and work ethic (工作准则). And the idea that children doing chores are more likely to succeed is surely new.
Kids who grow up doing chores contribute.
Chores help a person develop a certain attitude which can lead to them taking charge when there's help needed. Those who've learned to take the initiative since childhood are more likely to be leaders.
Kids develop self-efficacy.
When a kid sees that his / her actions lead to a certain outcome, it opens a door to a whole network of other activities like thinking, coping, trying, failing and succeeding. It gives the kid more space to experience life in general.
They become more capable and responsible.
And protecting your child from household duties and building a dependent pattern of behavior does more damage in the end. More or less independent living will cause a definite stress for a child who gets used to the fact that a certain part of their life is done without their participation or effort.
They figure out how to get tasks done.
Parents should not put all the effort into kids' good grades and thick resume, but rather on forming a certain set of habits, skills and a mindset in general. This includes, for example, the ability to schedule a day, prioritize urgent and important tasks.
A. It's more or less obvious with love.
B. Kids should be rewarded for doing chores.
C. This quality will be useful in group projects.
D. This will help them more in life than good grades ever will.
E. Parents should encourage kids to do chores for the good of health.
F. Chores are a big part of everyday life which is impossible to avoid.
G. Doing chores gives them more control over another area of their life.
