Sweeping using a mini broom, helping vacuum or mop, helping hang the laundry or take it back in when it’s dry, helping making breakfast (easy tasks like peel a banana, pour oats in a bowl, carry his breakfast to the dining table), helping fix things (for example holding something and observing while we fix), pouring out the kibbles for our cat and dog morning and evening (we told him he’s in charge of feeding his 2 siblings), playing with the cat using a fishing rod style cat toy, packing or unpacking a bag or suitcase, asking him to bring something to someone (look bring this thing to Mummy in the office)…

Well I just kept my 18 month old busy for an hour with a tray and a ton of lentils. Thanks!

[ruthfindlay]

I loved where she was pouring and stopped to drink some water. Really shows that this is a practical life activity.

Mia is so advanced for her age, just like her big sissy Kylie. Loved how you stepped in to help her out only when she was struggling! Amazing.

[annal.]

Her focus, concentration and ability to problem solve is amazing!

[philippapay]

So glad you label these so clearly in event we want to refer back to one or refer one to someone else for viewing. It is so refreshing to see a parent allowing a child to do their own problem-solving without letting them get completely frustrated. I think Mia is better at the towers than I would be. Has she discovered her shadow yet and reacted to it at all? Loved it when she was running after Kylie. Don't let your older sibling out of your sight, if you can help it. Loved how she checked in the watering can at the end to be sure it was empty. Hanging up her jacket and getting her shoes off and put away were really impressive. She did very well.

THANK YOU for sharing this type of content on your channel. As a professional mom with a lot of mom guilt, the content you share is digestible and impactful. I feel more purposeful and confident in my parenting as a result of heeding your words! Recently got my spouse to start watching your videos as well. A normal, relatable, concise mom vlogger - thank you for being!

[nanju]

Great video. I have been using solid coloured womens bangles and a mug tree with the children. They love putting the bangles on each hook.

[AA-mbrr]

I love how she saw the block wouldn't stand up on the carpet so she put it on another block! So cool to see kids that young problem-solve :D

[stacysaurousrex]

Been watching your videos since I was pregnant a little over a year ago. I studied child development in college got my BA and you really just helped by demonstrating and giving ideas on what I do could to teach my child. Thank you so much!!

[lucindaglover]

Watching her dust the house! That is just the cutest thing ever.

[njjohn]

Thank you so much. I have three kiddies, 5.5, 3.5 and 1.5 and in the business of life I sometimes forget my littlest one. This is a wonderful reminder of what I can do with her. All the best to you and your beautiful family.

[ceralith]

My 14mo old is still at the everything-goes-in-mouth stage yet, but your channel has given me great ideas on how to challenge him!

[natalieeuley]

At one point all Mia would do in videos was make baby sounds and have her hand appear in the frame while feeding. Now look at everything she can do!

[ruthstrup]

I love how you show your children playing with the toys.

[scablet]
