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!):
