Kid-Sized Chores |
When it comes to housework, many parents rarely ask young children to help because it is easier to do it themselves. It's important to know, that chores teach responsibility. As with all life skills, the earlier you begin these lessons, the more beneficial they are. We suggest you can start by having a child sized broom and dustpan, so your child can sweep the floor. You can cut a sponge in half to fit small hands, and have your child help wipe off tables. Gradually move up to more difficult tasks like folding towels, and filling the pets' bowls.
