Having Little Ones Help Out

It’s so easy to just put in a movie & keep little ones entertained, or put them in a playpen, or that sort of thing.

But there are such benefits to putting your little ones to work! 1 & 2 year olds are NOT too young to help out! Little kids ALWAYS love to work alongside you & if you take advantage of that from a young age, it is a lot easier for them to have a solid work ethic than if they never learned how to pitch in & help.

This does work a lot better if you have them work WITH you, so you can keep them on track. 😉

A few things our 2 year old loves helping with (& is really good at!):

Wash cupboards
Help shape rolls (or put cheese inside, then shape them)
Pick up her toys (even from a box)
Helping in the kitchen
Stirring food (& licking)
Helping Lexa take the banana chips off the dehydrator
Folding washcloths
Getting food from the pantry
Folding hand towels

And the list goes on….sweeping, really anything that you’re doing, put them to work by your side. 😊
