Chores. Nobody's favourite topic. But possibly the most underrated parenting tool in the whole toolkit.
In this episode Stephanie makes the case that chores are not really about having a clean house. They are about belonging. About raising kids who understand that families are not hotels, that everyone is crew, not passengers, and that the work of keeping a life running well is something you learn young or struggle with later.
From the "item on the stair" hack that never worked, to the dishwasher rotation that taught the golden rule better than any conversation could, to watching her adult son plan his cleaning day from across the country, this episode is honest, warm and grounded in twenty+ years of real family life.
Including the research finding that the best predictor of a young adult's success in their mid-twenties was whether they did household chores at age three or four.
Not grades. Not sport. Chores.
There are no magic fairies. Teaching our kids this might be one of the most loving things we ever do.
