How it works
A family is a team. Everybody has a part to play, and helping is how we are part of it.
Jobs go quicker when we all help.
Some jobs are for kids and some are for grown-ups only. Hot pans, sharp knives and the oven are for grown-ups.
Worked examples
Set the table
- Kit's grown-up says, can you set the table, please?
- Kit puts a plate, a cup and a spoon at every place.
- He walks slowly so that not one spoon drops, and the table looks lovely.
Feed the pet
- Rex sits by his bowl, and feeding Rex is Kit's job.
- In goes one scoop, and Kit fills the water bowl too.
- A pet needs fresh water every day and cannot do those jobs alone.
Clear up
- After lunch Kit takes his plate to the sink and wipes the table with a cloth.
- His grown-up carries the hot pan.
- Then the dirty socks go in the basket, plop!
