If you have extra time, try to let your child zip their own coat, put on their own shoes (even if on the wrong feet!), carry their own bag etc... In our busy lives it is often difficult to do this but try to give yourself 5, or okay, maybe 10 extra minutes. If your child spills something on the floor, show them how to clean it up, and let them do it. They could even help make lunch! The child will feel such a sense of pride and dignity!
