Chores for 2 Year Olds
Children from a young age can learn some responsibility from helping out. By the age of 2 toddlers are anxious to help and become independent. There is nothing wrong with giving a young child some minor responsibilities as long as the chore is age-appropriate. They cannot lift anything heavy or anything that will break. They should also not be given anything dangerous. Whatever they do will probably need to be redone but the point is to get them started and develop good habits. It will pay off when they are older. For example, if you ask them to sweep the floor with a broom for kids, don’t expect the floor to be clean. Don’t put them down when it isn’t. Congratulate them for doing a good job and make them feel great. This will give them confidence and make them want to keep trying. In a few year’s time, they will actually be helping.
