You get to choose one of two assignments for this week: choose either a task of bodily care that’s currently challenging (hair brushing, tooth brushing, diapering, etc.) OR choose one keeping house activity that your children see you doing but don’t usually help with, and have them help with it at least three times in the following week. If you choose a task that kids haven’t seen you do much, they may not be as interested in participating. Seeing you do it over and over is how they KNOW that they are contributing, because they know that it must be done.
What area did you choose? Did it go better or worse than you expected? Was it enjoyable and bonding, or was it stressful and distancing? How did the experience evolve over the course of the week?
Please share at least twice during the week, and respond to at least one other person’s post. When you share for the first time, start your own Comment box. Then when you give us an update later in the week, press “reply to this comment” on your own original sharing. This way it helps us keep everyone straight, since we can’t see one another. And of course when you reply to someone else’s comment, press “reply to comment” on their comment.
