A small job they can own

Progress over perfection.

Responsibility grows through supported practice. Choose a useful job that matches skills, not one that depends only on age.

Try it together

  1. Pick a safe task such as putting napkins out or returning books to a shelf.
  2. Demonstrate slowly, do it together, then let them try while you stay available.
  3. Notice effort and gradually reduce help. Keep chemicals, hot items and sharp tools adult-managed.

Words you could use

“You put every napkin on the table. That helped our family get dinner ready.”

One manageable next step

Choose one small daily job and practise it together.

Educational support only — not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Adapt to your child’s skills and supervise activities. If difficulties are persistent, intense or unsafe, seek qualified support. In an emergency call your local emergency number (000 in Australia).
