Simple tasks like these we may tend to take for granted and expect our kids to naturally pick up. However, we must not forget that sometimes our kids may find simple tasks like these difficult and challenging for them. Breaking down the steps can help and make a big difference to them.

 

Usually it is recommended that backward chaining is used to teach these skills. What this means is that the child is taught the last step first in a sequence of actions, then the next to last step, and so on, until the first action in that sequence is taught last. This method of chaining helps the child as they gain successes through each step.
