Teaching Toddlers Life Skills Through Chores (It’s a Win-Win!)

Instead of turning on a screen when your toddler is bored, why not invite them to help out around the house? In this video, our 2-year-old takes on “big kid” jobs—using a handheld vacuum and wiping down the fridge and cabinets. Their little hands fit perfectly into those tiny nooks and crannies we usually miss, and the result is a win-win:

• Your toddler learns responsibility, independence, and valuable life skills.
• You enjoy a cleaner home, even if just a little!

It’s never too early to start building good habits—one tiny task at a time.
