Learning a new everyday skill
Progress over perfection.
New skills need repetition without pressure. A child can be capable of one part and still need help with the rest.
Try it together
- Break the skill into three or four visible steps. Demonstrate the first one.
- Let your child complete the last easy step, then gradually add earlier steps as confidence grows.
- Practise at a calm time and stop before frustration becomes overwhelming.
Words you could use
“I’ll hold the bag open; you can put the bottle in. We’re learning together.”
