At the children's center we are always looking for ways the kids can develop independence, build a sense of responsibility, use teamwork, and to take care of our community. When a big snack delivery was dropped off on Tuesday, it was the perfect opportunity for the children to help out. Kohavim and Haifa Lunch Bunch helped by carrying all the grocery bags and then unloading each bag. They then passed the many boxes of crackers, cereal, and other delicious snacks to Ellen who put each box away in our snack storage cabinet. Giving children age appropriate jobs or "chores", such as helping put away groceries, is the perfect way to develop some of these skills. You might want to ask your child to help carry and put away the groceries at home or help take care of your home in other ways, such as setting the table for dinner or helping to load the dishwasher.
