Do you trust your toddler to take the washing off the dryer?
Instead of following a wash, rinse, and spin cycle, this little guy was focusing, aiming and launching the clothes off the balcony.
Many parenting experts say giving your child responsibilities or chores from a young age can help their development.
While that may be all good, it doesn't prepare you for some of the chaos these kids willingly create when doing their chores. Valuable advice is to ensure you oversee things for the first few executions.
It is, however, good to note that learning doesn't always happen 'inside the lines' or by keeping things neat. Messiness is part of their growth and development, so try letting go of the idea that having everything done right is the only way for them to learn.
