Today we'll be speaking with Laura Grace Weldon about how kids benefit from real responsibilities. This concept was highlighted in Laura’s article in the Summer 2018 edition of Pathways to Family Wellness Magazine and we would encourage you all to also check out the article there. Today, we’ll be talking about why it’s so important, that kids actually actually have real responsibilities, when the best time is for them to begin, and what skills and abilities will be developed through the process.
