These are some great life skills our 5 year olds should be practicing:

• Practice zipping jackets

• Practice Buttoning/Snaps

• Practice tying shoes

• Learn your address, phone number, and all family members names

• Chores that foster independence and be a helpful family participant - set and clear the table, empty the dishwasher, etc.

• Take off the training wheels!

• Sit during meal time as a family and take turns talking and listening to one another
