Rooted in Responsibility
Rooted in Responsibility
We all want responsible kids who clean up after themselves, think of others and weigh choices that benefit them in the long run. But, according to the research, we aren’t doing our part to help kids learn habits of responsibility. According to a survey by Braun Research, 82%of grown-ups polled said they had regular chores when they were growing up, but only 28% reported asking their children to do any. So while we all want to grow the critical “pitch in” attitude in our kids, are we pitching in to help them learn how to be responsible?
Teaching kids to be responsible is one of the most significant factors in whether or not they will be happy and successful in life, according to Harvard researchers. In this digital social-emotional learning activity kit, we will set your family up for success, and it starts with self-awareness regarding responsible habits and behaviors for the entire family.
