This is exactly how I attempt to both equip my child’s self-reliance as well as my own rest by making self-service food prep a reality.
Let’s begin with breakfast. I strongly motivate my huge kids to make their own cereal in the morning by putting the milk on a low shelf in a container they can quickly pour. We purchased a few different styles before settling on this model, the Lock&Lock 1 liter jug, since it’s simple to bring as well as hard(er) to spill. We likewise leave the cereal in reach.
Our kitchen area has big drawers at floor level so we utilize them to chuck all of the plasticky child-friendly dishes as well as cups in there. I don’t worry about stacking as well as organizating within the drawer which provides me two crucial benefits: emptying the dishwasher is a breeze (I virtually throw the stuff in) as well as youngsters don’t have to concern about toppling the beautiful purchase when they set the table.
Notice too, that I don’t keep the breakable stuff in there.
We apply a similar technique to organizing the infant bottles as well as sippy cups. I have a remove plastic bin on the countertop lined with a white washcloth. I toss in all the associated parts when they come out of the dishwasher as well as the bits can surface drying together. clean pacifiers as well as medicine squirters frequently make their method in the container. No, I don’t expect my young child to make his own bottles. Yet.
Do you have any type of tricks as well as techniques in your kitchen area to motivate your youngsters toward independence?
