FAMILY FOCUS
THE PLACE GAME
Lay the same number of spoons as there are people in your family on the table. Ask your child to show you which spoon is first, second, third, and so on. Repeat with forks, knives, plates, and napkins. Now that everything is out, have your child set the table or dinner. Research has shown that children who have daily chores are more resourceful and secure. These children were also found to have higher self-esteem!
