“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.” ~Maria Montessori

​

• Let the children help out in daily chores

• Some examples: cooking, setting the table, sorting silverware or laundry, dusting, helping to wash the car, etc

• It is okay if they make mistakes or mess while helping, guide them, but let them feel they are contributing

• Take the time to show them, step by step, how to accomplish such tasks successfully

• Children will have a sense of accomplishment

• Little things they do every day, will have a huge impact as they become adults
