According to a new research, kids can improve their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning around
the house.
It’s a study of 207 children. Scientists have found that housework like making meals and caring for plants
had something to do with planning, self-controlling and remembering things.
Collected from children aged 5 to 13 in mid-2020, the results showed 86 percent of kids put their dirty
clothes in the right place and cleaned up after playing. But only 59 percent made their own beds, just 26 percent
sorted clothes after washing and 10 percent helped cooking.
Older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones. Girls do more housework than boys. For
example, only 49 percent of boys but 70 percent of girls made their own beds. Around 60 percent of kids,
including 50 percent of boys and 61 percent of girls, helped do the dishes. Only 34 percent of kids aged five to
seven did this, but 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13 helped.
“Children who often cook a family meal may be more likely to be good at other ways of life-like
schoolwork or problem-solving,” the lead researcher of the study, Ms. Tepper said.
