Monday’s Parenting Thought
When a child is doing a chore on his own, be sure he, others, and property are safe.
For example:
-
If putting toys away is a chore, make sure the places he is to put them are not so high that it encourages
unsafe climbing. -
Make sure toy shelves are well anchored and are not likely to fall over from the weight of toys being put away.
-
Make sure electrical cords aren’t in the way of what the child is trying to do.
-
Consider that children may spill or drop things while doing tasks. Make sure your best things are not nearby.
