Lab: Teaching Kids to "Notice and Do"

Sure, your kid is capable of picking up his socks. But does he notice those socks are on the floor in the first place? This aspect of carrying the mental load--noticing what needs to be done and then doing it--is the foundation of Sam Kelly's strategy for teaching kids to work in the home.  In this episode, Sam and Whitney investigate how to help kids develop this skill, talk about how they've experimented with this in their homes, and suggest experiments you can try in your own home.  For more resources from Sam Kelly, visit hellosamkelly.com For more episodes about teaching kids to work, check out:  How Maria Kemp Teaches Her Kids to Work--On a Ranch How Emily Teaches Kids to Work How She Motivates Kids to Work How To Teach Kids to Be Tidy How To Teach Kids to Clean Workshop: How She Shares Family Work: Part 1 Workshop: How She Shares Family Work: Part 2
