Um, what kind of activities we do that follow their interests and their abilities?

Um, I love having them included in our daily life.

So in instead of like having to put the TV on while we

make dinner, we often invite children into the kitchen to say, Would you like to help?

And then they take responsibility helping to

prepare the vegetables or to set the table or to clear the table.

Um and children, particularly the youngest children, are remarkably capable.

And we talked a lot about executive functioning in one of our last um interviews as well and how you can set up your home so that your children can build up from one step activities like just hanging up their coat to the whole process of bringing your plate to the kitchen, washing it up and and

E maybe trying it or in your house it might just be bringing it to the

kitchen for now and then they build up to putting in the dishwasher or then they build up to helping you with the washing up and then they help you know so it you can scaffold and build these processes as well.

So I think that's really it.

Follow their interests and also setting up their own for success so that they can be these independent, capable humans and work together with us in a really peaceful, happy house.

That's what we all would hope for.

Yeah, I think it goes back to being a calm guide.

So one, I accept the child totally for where they are at.

And so if they, for example, a really busy child might come in and knock three activities off the shelf, you know, and then we'd all be like in demolition mode trying to put the activities back.

And instead you just see what do they need right now?

Are they do they want some help to focus on

um one of the other activities or do they need some help to calm down or would they like to help us put the activity back?

So it really depends on the situation a little bit.
