In our Indian society, the ongoing debate of whether kids should indulge in household chores or not has been around for years. With a variety of extracurricular activities and attending school/college, a child is left with very little time for anything else. Also, parents come with a clear mindset of only adults pitching in for household chores. Modern parenting comes with a string of advantages but with a small set of drawbacks. 

There is a fine line between loving and over pampering children. Engaging them in chores is a small way of preparing them for real-life hurdles. Chores are essential for kids; strangely, they teach them life skills.
