Self Care Toddlers
Responsibilities come in many different forms. Care of Self is an important skill that begins as soon as a child can hold on object in their hand. Wiping their own nose or wiping a table. Care of the Environment- caring for plants, setting the table, cleaning up after one self. Care of Others- Looking after others, serving lemonade, offering assistance. All these skills add up to a well rounded person. Thank you for spending the afternoon with us!
