Scientists have given parents a perfect comeback when their children refuse to help with household chores – ‘It’ll make your lessons at school easier.’
Youngsters who do the dishes or tidy are better at maths and science, with greater self-confidence helping them to become more sociable and happier, researchers say.
But children who rarely help out around the house are up to 30 per cent more likely to be dissatisfied with life, according to the paediatricians who studied almost 10,000 primary school-age pupils.
