Preparedness Project - Toddler Charts!

Now that the older kids

are in school and

YOU get YOUR TODDLERS

ALL TO YOURSELF

It's time for Toddler Bootcamp!

The word "Bootcamp" is mostly for the mom's

because raising a toddler takes a lot of work!

If you have a toddler you know they are BUSY little people

and very curious, to say the least.

"Terrible Two's" is phrase you hear often when

you have a todder, and the "Three's" are often filled with

the same adventures.

They want to know how everything works,

what it feels like,

and how to do new things.

This curiousity and desire to learn is what

gets them into a little trouble sometimes, but it can also be

the best teaching tool we have as moms.

I LOVE to be around toddlers. They actually want to be

wherever you are . . . doing whatever you are doing.

They love to work

and they still think they're parents are

the COOLEST PEOPLE THAT EVER LIVED!

To them JOBS are like a game or a new adventure

EVERY TIME

they get to try something new, and once they have

learned a new skill . . . it's fun to see

their self-esteem blossom!

This chore system is perfect for training.

They can see the pictures and they can even pretend to read them.

Each chore picture says, "I CAN . . . "

and then it will show the picture as well as the word for the action

followed by the words "CAN YOU?"

They get so excited when they can answer, "YES!"

Have your toddler pick some of the jobs he or she would like to do.

I use anywhere from 5-10 cards at a time

depending on the child's age.

(Boy)

(Girl)

(I think they're are about 40 different chore options!)

The great thing is that they fit into the child's hands and can be

carried with them from job to job.

When my boys where younger,

I would point to the words,

"I Can"

and have my boys "read" them out loud.

They began to recognize the words

even if they couldn't actually read at the time.

Then they would see the picture and say what it was.

They loved pretending to read the big words at the bottom!

That was back in the old days . . . now days,

they're expected to read at birth!

Holy Cow . . . No Pressure!!!
