My daughter often tells us "Stop! I want to help!"
It's not always easy to come up with things she can do, but she often helps my wife with simple cooking tasks and she helps me change out our water jugs.
Usually, it ends up being more work, but as you say, it's a great opportunity for her to learn.
It really is complicated, it depends on their age, at first it is more difficult, and I totally agree, sometimes it is more work than the help, but they feel so happy being a useful part of the house, the The problem also lies when we are in a hurry or it is something that cannot be damaged, but there we create strategies to make them participate. They also learn by making mistakes, today my daughter calmly mixes the pancakes by herself, I leave the ingredients on the table and she is in charge of mixing, while I do something else or sometimes she washes the dishes (not knives) and I I am advancing some other task, it is very great when they already know how to do small tasks. Keep up the good work with your baby.
