Definitely.

Yeah.

So you can definitely think about having things down low so that the kids can access them.

So when people come into our house, they go to open the cupboard up high to get a cup.

But actually everything in our house is down low because little kids can't reach up high.

And even a six-year-old kid can't reach to the back of the top shelf.

And so we have plates and glasses and bowls and things that they'll need for make their snacks and breakfast and things down low.

That also means, I mean, I wouldn't be expecting them to cook independently until they're older, but you can definitely give them supervision and start off.

I love baking with kids.

And so when they're younger, you measure out all the ingredients and they take turns to add ingredients and then you can mix together.

And then they learn the kind of recipes that you cook and they can start to do multi-step

activities so this is a common theme in all of these household tasks they're brilliant for kids who are differently wired because they need to practice these skills and around the home there's so much opportunity for it so definitely preparing

breakfast can be really easy you could put a small container with some cereal in it and a scoop and then they can just scoop out one scoop of cereal and then have a small jug with milk in it so that they just have to manage a small amount of milk and then for younger kids we have cloths at the ready like a hand mitt because there's always going to be spills and then you don't have to like freak out every time something spills it's just like oh there's a cloth you can wipe it up

And it's no big deal.

So it's definitely about thinking ahead, like how can I give my child success to do these things?

And they get so pleased with themselves from like, oh, I made my own breakfast today.

I mean, Asher must have been really chuffed the first time he started that.

I'm all for it.

Yeah, it's really great for them to build their self-confidence.

Also, when kids can't quite reach the bench to make their breakfast and things like that, you can have a small step ladder.
