[quote=Anonymous]I think we’ve always tried to have her help. around 18 months, she showed the desire to help independently, so we fostered that as much as we could. Now, at not quite 3, she knows her tasks are feeding the cat in the morning, helping unload the silverware from the dishwasher, and taking out most of the recycling. Is she spills on her clothes, she knows to put the dirty clothes in the laundry. She also helps match socks and put laundry away, helps dust with her own swiffer, helps cook dinner (when she shows interest in doing so), and helps with other tasks. I don’t think it’s ever too early. Little people love to help, so it’s just a matter of making it fun and giving praise and rewards. “her” tasks are second nature to her now. [/quote]
