Featured Response 💬
“When my oldest was barely a year old he would “help” me feed the dog by holding the scoop while we poured it together into her bowl. Now he’s almost 4 and most mornings he wants to be the one to feed her on his own. He likes helping and knowing he can do it on his own.”
That’s so sweet—starting small like that really shows them how important their help is, and it’s amazing how proud they feel when they can do it all by themselves! -Danielle 😊
