Simple tasks in the home can give your children a feeling of accomplishment and freedom, aside from learning a new skill. When they ask for something that seems easier to just do yourself, try stop ✋🏻 and help them do it themselves.
Placing items within reach in the fridge/cupboards and leaving a step stool in the kitchen might just be the difference between being nagged day in and day out and having them feel a sense of independence and also learning their bodily queues of hunger and thirst. Oftentimes they are asking for snacks and drinks constantly out of boredom and needing our attention and not because they actually need the thing they asked for.
