What kinds of chores do your preschoolers help with?
Edmund likes to help with unloading the dishwasher, but he can only reach the bottom cupboards and drawers.
He puts his dishes in the sink when he's done eating, but he isn't tall enough to rinse them and put them in the dishwasher.
Sometimes he helps with the laundry, but he can only barely reach the washing machine to just drop the clothes in.
He can put his clothes away in the right drawers, but he doesn't turn things right side out or fold them yet.
He likes to sweep outside with a push broom, but he hasn't mastered a regular indoor broom.
He likes to help me cook, but I worry about him being near knives and hot stoves.
How do you encourage your kids to help out and to finish instead of getting bored half way through?
What do you think about an allowance or reward system?
