[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my dirty secret:  I’m a preschool teacher AND my kids used sippy cups until age 8 if they were EVER drinking out side of the deck, kitchen or dining room. Milk stinks if it gets on anything fabric and wont’ come out as does juice, so I made it a rule. It made me stress less and let the kids have popcorn and milk snacks while watching a movie.

Don’t stress OP- the list the PP gave is good.  Sorting laundry, setting the table, putting clothes away, folding clothes for some, giving the pets food/water and getting their own snacks are all good ones.  They can even sweep or vacuum/use a bona or swiffer style mop or can dust[/quote]

We had a rule that milk had to be consumed at the table or counter (while seated) if you wanted a drink anywhere else, it had to be water. Kids don't need to be sipping a drink for the duration of a movie, and if they are, it can be water. If they need anything else, it can be consumed seated in the kitchen or dining room, over 5 minutes or so.[/quote]
