So much of our home becomes “no” and “don’t touch.” We’re told to keep kids busy while we get things done. But most toddlers don’t want to be kept busy, they want to be a part of it. Sometimes it’s as simple as bringing them up to counter height. Suddenly, making dinner isn’t a task you’re juggling alone but it’s something you’re doing together. When you stop trying to manage them and start including them, a lot of the pushback fades. Curiosity takes over. 📸 @emmsab
