It tugs on momma\u2019s and daddy\u2019s heart strings seeing their little one grow up and become increasingly independent.\u00a0As parents, we know we have to let go and let our little humans learn and grow into independent individuals.\u00a0Your preschooler can begin learning many skills to help her be more independent and make things a bit easier for you, also.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sharing and taking turns can be difficult skills for preschoolers.\u00a0Provide opportunities to take turns and share some of your child\u2019s toys.\u00a0Begin with some less treasured items and then progress to sharing a favorite toy.\u00a0Also, offer opportunities for your child to interact with children outside of the home and share or take turns.\u00a0It is more difficult for a preschooler to share or take turns with someone outside their own home than it is to share with a parent or sibling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manners\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Manners are an important skill for everyone and teaching manners can be simple through modeling.\u00a0Our little ones look up to us, so we need to make sure to always model good manners.\u00a0If your preschooler forgets to use his manners, gently remind him.\u00a0For example, if he asks for a snack without saying please, you could say, \u201cPlease try asking again using manners.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n

Allow your child to help choose his or her outfit for the day.\u00a0This helps teach the skill of dressing for the weather.\u00a0Once your child has chosen his outfit, let him dress himself with minimal help! Initially, he may need reminders of putting certain items of clothing on first or help putting them on, but he will quickly learn how to do these activities on his own.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Household Chores<\/span><\/h4>\n

Preschoolers are capable of helping with simple household chores.\u00a0If your child is in preschool, it is likely she has a class job.\u00a0Some ideas for age appropriate chores for your preschooler include:\u00a0sorting and folding socks together, folding hand towels and washcloths, putting dishes in the sink, wiping the table after meal time, or helping sort and put away utensils.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as it breaks your heart to see your preschooler become more independent and more like a \u201cbig kid,\u201d seeing her beam with pride at her new found skills is worth it.\u00a0 Plus, you know you are helping her get ready for life with some basic skills!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
