I'm getting frustrated that DD (just turned 4) relies on me to do everything, even things I know she can do like getting shoes on. However talking to her about it this morning, it seems she gets frustrated that I don't let her do things to help that she wants to do. At nursery she is "special helper" on certain days and gets to help serve food and clear away. I want to try and develop a list of chores that she can "own" and maybe linked to small rewards if she keeps doing them. My list so far is:
- put clothes in the washing basket
- dress self
- plate in the dishwasher after meals
- get cutlery out for everyone for dinner.
Can anyone thing of one or two others?
