Ay-yah!
In an effort to give our 4 year old granddaughter individual attention, my husband and I have decided to do projects with her on Wednesday afternoons. This week I decided we would bake communion bread. She is a liberated lady and an active child so when I told her to punch down the dough she did it with gusto and appropriate martial arts sound affects! The dough never stood a chance.
After we had whipped the bread into shape she really wanted to roll it out. I frankly thought that was beyond her but she was determined, and by golly she had the strength and focus.
See, Nana, I can do it!
There are so many simple things that children love to do that we don’t realize they are able to do. We only need to take a lot of time and let things develop slowly with minimal expectation of a particular result. I know that is asking a lot in our fast paced lives, but the sense of accomplishment they get by doing something real is invaluable.
Just being there–a very important parenting technique.
