Defne also enjoys helping setting the table, preparing the lunch boxes. Over the summer,I would also like to teach her finger knitting and using a lucet which she has asked before.Practical life activities help children become more independent,social and at the same time, they help develop fine motor skills. Unlike adults, children focus on the process. They enjoy repeating the activities until they master a certain skill. These activities help to control their movements, to focus and to complete sequential steps.
I also think that it is important for the children to feel themselves as part of the family unit. So they can contribute to some of the things that need to be done around the house.
