Give Them Tasks To Do
Teach your child about responsibility not only by telling him or her about it, but also by giving them small tasks that are their own to take care of! Starting off early with little tasks, like making sure everyone has a napkin during meals, or matching socks from the laundry while you fold. As they grow, continuing to give your child their own responsibilities, such as organizing toys, helping with chores around the house, and then eventually giving them their own chores, will help foster a sense of responsibility and will help your kiddo better understand what it’s like to be a part of a community.
Let Them Help You
Sure, it probably takes longer to clean the house or wash the dishes with your preschooler helping you, however, teaching them to help early on will save you hours of headache when they are able to do the tasks themselves when they are older.
Show Them How It’s Done
Just telling your child how to do something is often not helpful. You have to show your child how tasks are done by doing it with them at first. Teach them how to pour a glass of milk themselves or put laundry in the dryer for you.
Praise Them Always
Even if your child messes up a task, praise them for trying. This will teach them that the attempt is much more important than the result. Worry about the results later on.
