Children learn to become more independent.
As for older children, they often look for ways to become more independent. An excellent way to encourage them is by giving them some responsibilities that they can handle.
When you share responsibilities at home, it is good to provide kids with the ones that are appropriate for their age. You may need to assist them with certain tasks. Supervise them if they are doing a chore for the first time. But eventually, they will be able to do it by themselves.
Children who are 2 to 3 years old can do simple chores, such as putting water into the pet’s bowl (with your supervision) and putting laundry into the laundry basket. They can also dust places that they can reach. For bigger kids, they can learn how to set and clean the table, with minimal to no supervision. They can also sort colors for your laundry and learn how to keep their rooms tidy by putting their items away.
