Yeah, I definitely think so.

I think that maybe even like if you have open shelves that you might even need to place a curtain that comes down at night if they're really, you know, being stimulated by those things and finding it hard to switch off.

So that's definitely something to think about.

And I mean, we would start really young with kids in Montessori with taking responsibility for their things and packing things away.

And

When we talked about putting clothes into a laundry basket, if you start when they're young, like, oh, I'll carry your T-shirt and you carry your trousers, then you start doing it together.

It becomes very normalized very quickly and you don't have to, it's much harder to teach an eight-year-old to put their clothes into the laundry because they're like, oh, you do it.

And they get that kind of attitude where if they've just always done it, they might be at dinner time taking their plate to the kitchen.

If you've always done that from when they're a little toddler,

then they can just build that.

And it's great for their executive functioning to be like taking these steps.

So a younger child would just take it to the kitchen and older child would be able to put it into the dishwasher.

Other children can help with the washing up and then you can keep building skills like adding drying up to that list of activities that they're going to be doing so that you continue again to scaffold the skills and grow that executive functioning.

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.
