Yesterday, she was helping me sweep the floor... because of a mess SHE made! And if I try to help her put her toys away, she insists that she does it. I try to encourage it as much I can, and really like seeing her so involved with helping out. I'm sure I can use it to my advantage one day. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-728254 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:57:29 +0000 rachiecakes 728254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!<br /> Like @MamaCate my 16 month old loves to help out - he helps put the laundry in the hamper, he brings his dishes to the sink, he puts away his shoes and toys.<br /> He really loves to try to do everything on his own, so if I can encourage him to help out with things around the house, why not, right? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-728244 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:53:44 +0000 MamaCate 728244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months and we call her "big helper" a lot to encourage this. She will help us take the trash to the dumpster and empty the recycling (she carries a small portion), helps me unload the dishwasher, helps me put our breakfast in the toaster oven, helps unload the dryer. She is soo proud of herself when she does it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-728209 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:41:53 +0000 T-Mom 728209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves to help clean up and wipe tables and fold laundry. DS just likes to make a mess but I'm trying to encourage cleaning up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-727848 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:52:42 +0000 Springtime 727848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's only 12 months, but of course he like to pretend he is helping when in reality it creates a bigger mess, but whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-726099 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:34:51 +0000 BoogieBea 726099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They love helping out. They really enjoy hanging out in the kitchen while I prep food; loading/unloading laundry and dishes; and small cleanups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-726062 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:28:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 726062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We very much encourage life skills as part of our Montessori household, so the girls have access to a broom and dustpan as well as rags . Even M. can be found using a rag to swipe the floor in imitation of us. I think kids love this stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-726055 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:27:02 +0000 chopsuey 726055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just helped me unload the dishwasher.<br /> She picks up her toys for me and if I give her a wipe, she'll wipe down the floors. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-to-help-you-do-things-around-the-house#post-726048 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:25:49 +0000 mrbee 726048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie likes to follow us around the house and offer to help with everything!</p> <p>I want to encourage that, b/c my secret plan is to have him "help" me do the dishes more and more until one day he is doing them by himself!</p> <p>Does your LO like to help you do things around the house? </p>
