But I think something like making their bed can be very easy for a young child because you can maybe take off all the extra sheets and blankets and just have a duvet that you pull up at the end and that's them making their bed.

So you're already scaffolding the skill.

Hmm.

taking care of their room and that kind of thing.

So that would be one thing that I would expect that they could do.

And that's a one-step activity.

So it's really good for executive function because it's just building and building muscles, basically, on taking care of their space.

Then taking care of their clothes is one thing that you can gradually build up as well, which might mean that you need to organize their cupboards so that they know where everything belongs.

And once you finish the washing, that they would start taking responsibility for putting that in the right places.

We have a set day of the week when that happens that gives our kids a point of reference so they know that it always happens on a Monday, that their clothes are expected to go away without overwhelming them every day and randomly.

So they kind of like the predictability.

And I think that kids who are differently wired would also kind of like to know that that's going to happen as well.

For younger kids, sometimes having labels onto drawers like the t-shirts are in here and these visual cues can actually also really help because the easier you make it, then the more success they're going to have.

So also the more success you have, the less nagging you have to do and the more independent the children are becoming.

So we're basically using the environment to take some of our workload off because we're busy enough as we are.

There's enough going on.

So we always look to the environment, how it can do some of our work for us.

So that's another area of the bedroom is like the wardrobe.

And then just like keep it really super simple for clothes that are dirty.

So have a laundry basket where we just have one in our bathroom, but some people have a hamper in their bedroom.
