Hi, hope all is well. Daily living skills are an essential part of our children’s growth. As adults, we often do these tasks without a second thought—but we all had to learn them over time. Our children are no different. These small, everyday skills lay the foundation for independence as they grow into adulthood.

The good news is—you don’t need to make it complicated. Start now, simply by including your children in your daily routine. Little by little, help them gain confidence and independence.

For example, when you’re cooking dinner, let them safely help with age-appropriate tasks. Or during laundry time, they can collect clothes from around the house, sort them by color, or help load the washer.

These small steps make a big difference in building the life skills they’ll need to thrive as adults.

With Love,
Rhonda Logsdon
