Hi,

AFter hunting around the internet, I am looking for recommendations on a good -tell you exactly how to do practical life skills book for ages 2-6. Pouring, spooning, walking. I was watching Katherines blog for awhile copying her pictures on Practical Life work, but I guess I need to do it on my own. Any suggestions? I need something really spelled out because otherwise past history says, I won't do it.

I would greatly appreciate the input because my carpet under the dining room table is getting stinky from all the milk spills. I am thinking that I failed in teaching practical life 101 for my 6 year old and rather than yell at her anymore, maybe I could use some Montessori wisdom.

I would start off here:MWEI Practical life albumand see if it meets your needs. If not, then there are others out there. Just give a yell and we can track down the links for you.

Thank you. I read the article printed it and examined your blog. This was the epiphany that I needed. Sometimes mom needs to be reminded that problems in the house and with the kids can be resolved by training instead of yelling.):
