Making the Bed
Target Age:
Middle Four-Year Old
What To Do:
Teach your child another way to contribute to taking care of his/her room and belongings by demonstrating how to make a bed. It is not too early to ask your child to be responsible for this task each morning. You'll have to demonstrate the way you'd like your child to straighten the covers and pillows. The first attempts may leave something to be desired. It's the process, not the product at this age, and this activity leads to greater independence and self esteem.
Skills Learned:
- Self Concept
- Gross Motor
- Coordination
