[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 yo puts his dish in the sink, gets dressed, puts on shoes by himself each morning. We are working on adding him putting his water bottle and lunch in his backpack. He wakes up at different times and usually wants to play in the am. I set his timer (the visual one with colors from the love every kit) to show him how much time he has to play and also do his things. He is getting pretty consistent but it’s taken awhile and some days is still a struggle. I think he now understands a bit better that he gets to play more if he gets his tasks done faster. When he is resisted I usually try to have some motivation for the car ride- which is usually a promise to listen to a certain song or a toy coming in the car. I would agree he is capable and with consistency and proper motivation they can do it. Honestly getting out of the house is so much easier now. I try to think about what their teachers expect at school and keep it at a similar level. They can do so much more than we think they can! [/quote]
