Helping Hands

On March 23, 2016, the children started waking up from nap, one by one. I asked the first child if he wanted to help me clean his cot. He showed me a big smile and answered "Yah!" So I gave him a wet plaid cloth and showed him how to wipe his own cot. Another child came to me saying "Help!" So I gave him a wet plaid cloth as well to use for his own cot.

The children wiped and cleaned their cots together.

 

  

Another child woke up and it is her turn to help. She wiped her cot from bottom to top.

 

One child was watching the others and after asked if she could wipe her cot as well.

The children looked very satisfied not only because they have cleaned their own cots, but also for being helpful and proving that they are capable of completing a chosen task.
