Description and Message:

[Lorina]

Add photos of children doing tasks independently (take photos of the children washing their hands, flushing the toilet etc. Add photos of toys on each basket to make it easier for children to know which toy goes where, use low shelves for children to access, role model, role play, offer sippy cups at meal times to be used... At this stage they don't need to know how to wipe themselves but you can encourage it by helping them.

Hope this helps,
