And we can make a list with them of the shoes and their hat and their coat and all the things that they need or their bag and all certain days of the week that they need to take something.

And then you can put together a checklist if the child doesn't read yet.

You can also just make a simple picture next to a word, for example, a picture of a shoe next to the word shoe.

And then they can order what would be the most useful way to put it together.

And then you can hang it in the hallway wherever you usually get ready to go.

Some kids like to actually check off each of these or other times they just like to point to it.

But what I also really find handy about the checklist is that it stops you having to nag the kids because you can just say, oh, what does it say we need to do next on the list?

And then you can use the list as the thing that's giving the instruction as opposed to you having to say, come on, I said your shoes now.

Okay, now your scarf and having to give all those instructions that can just overwhelm them.

So the checklist is really useful for that.

The other thing to keep in mind is that they might need some help to order how they put these things on.

So I remember when my children were younger, they'd go and put their mittens on and then they'd try and get their coat on and a mitten is going to block the coat going on.

So we developed this system where we put the mittens at the bottom and then the coat and then the scarf and all of it was in order of how they would need to put it on.

And so after a whole season of practicing that, the next season, we didn't need to go through this process.

We're basically scaffolding skills and making it easier and giving them chances to be successful as opposed to having to say, okay, let's start again.

And that kind

Yeah, definitely.

I think that what you say about responsibility and scaffolding skills comes a lot into a Montessori approach at home.

Yeah, definitely.
