Friday!.. and it's all about SIMPLE TASK.

Today is Friday!.. Hooray!! and a clutter Friday morning for my little one. This is his routine not only every Friday morning but everyday of his life!... right after he finished his breakfast he oftentimes go to his books and pick it one by one, looking at every picture on its page while blabbing as if he's reading words and put it (sometimes throw it) on the floor and this is how it looks like after doing his so called book reading. He is doing it while watching videos from his collections of infant and toddler music and Learning Videos Collection, you see how multitasking he is.

After lunch was a lot busier for him. His task was to sort his toys or put it back inside the toy box. Of course! he cannot do it yet without my command I am just somehow training him that after playing with his toys he should put it back inside the toy box, and he is practicing this task until he get used to it. Well, it's not too young to learn about being responsible with your own things and a clutter free corners.

And why so doing this thing.. Involvement of my toddler in simple task at home? According to the 'Raising Children Network': Involving kids in tasks and chores.( Click Here for more information) it is beneficial for both the kid and the whole family to get your child involved in simple chores. They will learn how the family relationship is and how it function, this is just one of many ways how they can learn from it. When children contribute to family life, it also helps them feel competent and responsible. Sharing housework can minimize stress in a family. Getting kids involved in chores helps the family work better.
