Extending a Child's Reach
"When a child wants to begin doing things for himself, he may experience some frustration because certain conveniences of the adult world are just too high for him."
First of all.
My kids ain't frustrated over not being able to do certain things.
Do you think they like to hang up their clothes, or do dishes, or pick up toys off the floor that they are actually closer to than adult around?
NO
So here is the thing.
We make it easier for them to do the things so they have no excuses!
Get on that stool and brush your teeth!
Hang up your towel on the hanger that is eye level to you child!
WHY ARE ALL THE LIGHTS ON!
If you can reach to turn the light on, please turn it off.
It's like I have little electric wasting Hansel and Gretel in my home.
Just follow the rooms with lights on to find them.
They are not frustrated that they can do the things now.
They are frustrated that they have some responsibility for themselves.
The older they get.
They more things they do.
The less mom does!
So that is the plus in all of this.
