One of the things I have learned lately is that if I let my kids participate in the day to day activities in our home they are much happier. Simple activities like making their own peanut butter jelly sandwiches and grating cheese are fun for them. Its great because it takes time, their engaged and focused on learning the task at hand and I don't have to worry about them destroying the rest of the house while I'm trying to make lunch! I love seeing the light bulbs go on as they learn new skills. I have been collecting child size kitchen utensils from the thrift stores to make it easier for them to help. I've given them their own drawer in the kitchen for all of their utensils.
