Teaching Your Preschooler in Dubai Chores at Home

Teaching  a child attending Preschool in Dubai to  help out with chores around the home can take some stress off your shoulders and give you more time to spend together as a family as well as teach your child the importance of being independent as well. Also, making a child do chores around the home will teach them important life skills, such as teamwork and cooperation. 

When parent's allocate chores  it is important to set clear and consistent expectations. For example, don't expect the child to complete the job the way you would or do you expect them to do their best. It's important to be consistent and have realistic expectations. 

Educators at Kids Nurseries in Dubai expect parents to allow their child's input into  which chores he or she would like to perform. Give them options and allow them to choose what they would like to do. However, the child may also be assigned some tasks that he or she doesn’t like, make sure to rotate these chores among other children, if parents have more than one child. 

Assign tasks that are age appropriate. Even in Dubai Nursery Schools, children are assigned tasks that are age appropriate and rarely are not given tasks that are inappropriate or difficult to perform. For instance, 3-4 year olds can clean up the play area and put away their toys and 5 -6 years olds can clean their rooms by emptying the dustbins, washing plastic dishes and making the bed. A 7-8 year old can fold and put away their laundry, sweep the floor and set the table for a meal. Children who are older than 9years can usually wash the dishes or wash the windows. The most important trait is to make sure the child grasps the idea of pitching in and working as a team. Children should be responsible for chores that directly benefit them, such as cleaning their own rooms. 

Since your child is still learning it will take time to get the job done properly, therefore, give your child the opportunity to take their time and learn. 

Choose a good time for the child to attend to the chores. Don't make the child do chores as soon as they come home from  school, give them time to rest and relax. Some experts at the Nurseries in Dubai suggest setting aside a time when the whole family does chores together. 

Use a chart, like teachers at the Dubai Nursery Schools use in their classroom for each activity. This will help to organize, promote language skills and develop math skills. Make sure all children know that they are expected to help out at home. 

Make chores a fun task by incorporating play, music, and singing. The chances are if a child enjoys their chores, they will do them well and take on more responsibility. Make sure to praise the child for a job well done as the child needs to be motivated through praise. With younger children use a reward system.
