Play is an effective way for young children to get to know the world around them, so for the harmonious development of the baby, you need to play with it as much as possible. However, everyday activities do not allow you to spend as much time with your child as you would like. To pay enough attention to the baby and keep up with the housework, it is best to combine these activities.
Much of the day-to-day responsibilities are associated with the kitchen, where a lot of time goes by. If you leave the child to himself, overlay with toys and be distracted by his own affairs, he will soon get bored, crawl or follow his mother, ask for his arms, whimper, etc. Therefore, the baby needs to be occupied with an interesting game.
The child will surely like it if the mother attracts him as an assistant: she will ask him to wipe the table, collect and throw the garbage into the bucket, wipe and put the spoons in the boxes. You can give your baby complete freedom of action with any safe kitchen utensils, such as bowls, pans, lids, ladles. Allow to pour water into them, put them on your head and knock them against each other. And if among the toys there are children's dishes or kitchen, the child will be happy to cook soup for dolls while mom prepares dinner for the family.
For the development of fine motor skills, it is useful to invite the baby to choose beans or raisins from a bowl of semolina, find any small object in buckwheat, pour rice from a glass into a plate with his hands or with a spoon. If mom makes dumplings or dumplings, the child will want to help, so you need to give him a piece of dough for creativity and let him sculpt anything.
When wiping off the dust, the mother should definitely allocate a small cloth for the baby. The same applies to cleaning the floor. If the child is not afraid of a vacuum cleaner, you can involve him in cleaning carpets, or even better - buy him a toy model that not only looks like a real vacuum cleaner, but also removes large debris.
The kid will quite cope with loading the laundry into the washing machine and will be pleased if he is instructed to press the "Start" button, and then will be allowed to take part in hanging the washed clothes. It is advisable to iron in parallel with mom, but on your own board and your own iron purchased from a toy store.
A child who shares her daily chores with her mother, albeit in a playful way, must certainly be praised, even if he does not succeed in everything as it should. Thus, he will develop useful housekeeping skills, and his parents will have an irreplaceable assistant. And if you sing songs together, dance and recite poetry during your homework, it will be doubly more fun.
