Kids always love to do chores around the house, but they may make a mess if they are not monitored. They love helping out with chores to spend more time with their parents. In fact, what is considered a chore may be fun for a young child. How can you engage the little ones to do house chores?
Put away books and toys
This chore can help the child learn how to stay organized. Make the child keep all toys and books in the right place if they can reach it. They will develop a habit of organizing their rooms as they grow up.
Dusting
You can give them a small cloth to wipe surfaces they can reach. You can focus on the higher surfaces while the child handles lower areas. This is an excellent way to bond.
Arranging napkins for dinner
Your child can also help before dinner by setting up the napkins on the table. This can serve as math practice because it involves counting.
Watering the greens
You can get the child a miniature watering can to water plants in your garden. This can teach the child about responsibility and spraying water is fun.
Making the bed
You can do this with the child and make it more fun by having a short pillow fight before getting to work. Remember to throw a few high-fives and praises in between.
