When my kids were young I’d often get flack for making them do chores🙄 Did you know that chores are a part of ADLs (self-care) and key components of a child’s development?? I did.
Now that they’re older and excelling in areas related to executive function, emotional regulation, work ethic, independence, time management and life skills in general…people want to know how I did it.
First off, I didn’t, they did. I don’t take credit for the hard work my kids put into developing their lives and reaching towards their goals. But I have continually tried to equate my role as a parent to that of a teacher. To speak and to listen but most importantly to model. Set reasonable expectations, help them learn, show understanding and make room for them to make mistakes. #kids#parenting#learn#love#selfcare
