In this episode, we talk about why those everyday summer chores are doing more for your kids than just keeping the house clean.We break down how simple tasks like sorting laundry, setting the table, and making their own lunch actually help build executive functioning skills; like planning, time management, focus, and responsibility. These are the same skills that help them thrive in the classroom!Summer offers the perfect rhythm to teach these life lessons without the rush of the school year. We share how we introduce these habits at home (without the nagging), tips to keep it age-appropriate, and why it’s okay if it’s not perfect.You’re not just raising helpers…you’re raising future problem-solvers, leaders, and self-starters. And it all starts with folding the towels.Welcome to the Table!
