How to Teach a Child to Wash Dishes: Some Useful Tips for Moms and Dads
It is necessary to gradually accustom a child to solving household chores so that with age he becomes more independent and responsible.
First, you can teach him to wash toy dishes, and then real ones.
How to do this correctly needs to be explained and shown by personal example.
To begin with, you can assign your child to wash only his own plate or cup.
There should be a safe stool by the sink if the child is still too small. But to begin with, it is advisable to give him a small basin of warm water to make the process easier.
Avoid giving your baby sharp objects (knives and forks), or anything too fragile or heavy.
There is no need to scold a child if he drops breakable objects.
Also, don't overload him and make him wash all the plates after a family dinner.
It is important to remember that a child who has done a good job of cleaning up deserves praise.
