The Process of Chore Teaching: Implications for Farm Youth Injury

&NA; This study explored parental views regarding suitable chores for farm youth, the process used in chore teaching, and the relationship between what parents teach about safety and the youth's application of knowledge gained from teaching. Twenty‐three parents and 40 children participated in focus groups. Chore teaching consisted of parental appraisal of child readiness, child interest, safety rules, chore initiation, chore phasing, and chore modification. Parents allowed children to perform high‐risk chores when economically pushed or the available labor supply was inadequate. For safety behavior to be taught and role modeled by parents, the economic consequences of injury must be stressed.
