Lately, washing dishes is what she's all about. I just give her the plastic cups or her small bowls/plates.

It's hard to squash that urge to “fix” it for them, isn't it? But, like you, I love the sense of accomplishment I literally see on her face when she's helping out.

Mine love to wash dishes. And it's not even something we do very often, since we have a dishwasher – and if I do handwash then it's glass and delicate. But I sometimes get her to wash some things that are unbreakable just so she can do it.

Dusting? What is this dusting you speak of?:)

I love how satisfied my kids are when they feel they're helping- I try to squash my urge to go after them and "straighten" their effort, even if it's not perfect- I want them to feel that their contribution is valued. They make their beds, and as hard as it is for me to leave a crooked blanket, I do.:) (Hmmmm- Maybe I should make MY bed sometime!)
Great post.:)

Making the bed! Of course…that's a great one for them. And yes, dusting is good too. I try not to let her do it too much because she tends to get congested rather easily, but it's a super easy chore for the young ones to do.
