My daughter took it upon herself to clean our front door window last night. Looks better now than it did before. She got all the toos herself. I figured – why not? It did need to be washed and it certainly wasn’t going to get done by me and if it still needed to be washed after she was done with it I had lost nothing in the bargain.

I have found that kids love “real work”. My eldest son went to a Montessori preschool and his favourite activities where always from the practical life area – shoe polishing, orange squeezing, cheese grating etc. I think he really valued seeing the outcome of his efforts.

I have great window washers (never very clean windows though lol)
I found if I gave them a spray bottle with just water and a cloth they could clean the inside without too much damage.
Now that I have an enjo window cleaner they do an even better job! But sometimes they still want the spray bottle …
Great post.

My daughter loves “helping” me do housework. This usually involves following me with a cloth and “wiping” here and there. The other thing she loves is using the dustpan and brush. We take turns sweeping and sometimes it is a struggle to get it back for my turn!

As they say, as soon as they can actually be helpful, they are not interested in helping anymore. I’m enjoying the “help” while it comes so willingly!

Uncle Jason says he’s happy to train then when they’re ready to move to the next level! It always amuses me when children play at things we as adults hate doing! I remember as a kid playing ‘house’ and ‘shops’.

On a more serious note, I susptect in this day and age it’s important for children to learn how to amuse themselves without necessarily needing something to provide stimulation. To be self-sufficient. I had a friend the other say she couldn’t take her children camping because they wouldn’t survive without their playstation!
