Self Help Skills for Kids

The excitement of preparing your child for preschool or junior kindergarten usually involves teaching them their colours, counting, learning their ABC’s and perhaps printing their names. Skills that are certainly important, however, some of the most important skills you can teach them are self-help skills: dressing themselves, independence in the bathroom, self-feeding and self-care. These are the skills that will allow them to become a little more independent, which is always a great help when starting school.
