Chores for your toddlers

Young kids can learn a lot from doing household chores. Doing chores not only help them feel competent and responsible, it also send a message to your child that his contribution is important to the family.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And yes, toddlers can do chores! Choose age-appropriate simple tasks that are within their ability, and make it extra fun with silly songs or funny voices.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are some age-appropriate chores for toddlers: ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1.Assisting with laundry⁠⠀
Strengthen their fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination by having them put their dirty clothes in the laundry hamper and folding small articles like socks and washcloths⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2. Putting the toys away⁠⠀
Get in the habit of cleaning up after playtime. Encourage your toddler to put things back by establishing a home for their playthings. This chore teaches them to clean up after themselves⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. Help with groceries⁠⠀
Have your toddler carry in or stock anything light and non-breakable. Getting kids involved in picking out food at the store, washing or putting it away can encourage them to try something new.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
4. Feed the pet⁠⠀
Your toddler can refill food and water bowls using a cup (make sure you do the measuring) or help scrub your dog’s fur during a bath. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As hard as it is, do not do everything for your children! Start them young, always do the chores together with your child until he can do it on their own. Praise them for their effort! ⁠⠀⁠⠀
