For entrepreneurs, achieving success in parenting, characterized by raising independent, happy, and fulfilled children, contributes significantly to a sense of work-life balance. Research from the multigenerational Harvard study indicates a correlation between childhood chores and later professional success. Involvement in household responsibilities fosters a sense of self-worth, empathy, and teamwork, leading to better career prospects. Additionally, children who participate in chores from a young age tend to develop higher levels of self-confidence and self-efficacy, contributing to their overall happiness and fulfillment in adulthood.
And make sure you start establishing chores when they’re four or five years old; as in most things, earlier tends to be better.
