4. according to lynthcott-haims, how are chores an essential part of childhood? how does this relate to positive parenting ideas?

5. looking at your own childhood, do you feel that your parents imposed a checklisted childhood on you? how do you feel these things have affected you (positively or negatively) as a young adult?

4. Julie Lythcott-Haims uses the term “checklisted childhood” to describe the kind of upbringing that forces kids to follow a “to-do list” based only on what colleges expect of them, without developing other beneficial skills. She claims that chores are a great exercise on responsibility and that exempting kids from doing house chores turns them into young adults that need others to tell them what they have to do.

5. I did have what Lythcott-Haims calls a checklisted childhood. My parents put a lot of emphasis on the importance of achieving certain academic goals, but they didn´t encourage me to do any house chores. I think chores provide organization and resolution skills that could have been beneficial for both my personal life and my professional career.
