When we teach children how to do something, we usually walk them through the first steps of gathering supplies and equipment through the process of what they are learning, and then work with them through the clean-up stage.
How much smoother our home life goes when we prepare things in the same way in which we teach our children!
Whether it is a cleaning plan, a meal plan, taking the time to set things out the night before, preparing for school during the summer and then also taking time over the weekend to prepare for Monday’s school, preparation makes life go so much easier.
It is part of doing, and so important to model for our children.
It is the doing that counts!
