Do your children find it difficult to complete tasks together at home? Help your little ones build their teamwork at home! With these five ideas, they’ll learn how they can each help work toward the same goal both at home and at preschool!
Give your children different tasks to contribute to the same project.
Giving them the same task may create a sense of competition between them, rather than develop teamwork. For instance, when setting the table, one child can put napkins on the table while the other places the silverware on the table. Teamwork!
Introduce your child to team sports.
Whether your child is part of a soccer team or not, by watching games you can show your child how the members of the team all work together to score points.
Everyone helps.
When cleaning a room in your home, make sure everyone pitches in. Start by having each child take turns picking up one item. Then take turns picking up two items. Work your way up to 10 items each—then start back at one! This will help eliminate the bickering between siblings while they work together.
Watch movies which promote teamwork.
In Disney’s Finding Nemo and Toy Story 2, the characters all must work together in order to accomplish their task. Each of the friends has a different responsibility in order for them to be successful! When your children are working together, remind them about the characters in the movie!
Show your child that by completing their task, he is allowing his sister to complete hers.
(And that this is an important part of team work!) When setting the table, the silverware can’t be placed until the napkin is on the table. Your preschooler will begin to realize the impact of their actions!
Try using these strategies to help your children learn to work together!
