The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
We had fun teaching the children how to make tea. They were very keen to learn, and took to the task with great enthusiasm.
So what’s your child like on the domestic front? Would you feel happy with them making you a cup of tea? Not only will you have a fun and enjoyable bonding experience with your child, but it will also help them to develop important skills, such as table manners and teach them how to safely and properly hold a tea cup.
Make sure that tea serving is always a supervised activity.
The hot teapot or jug should be kept well out of reach of children until it has cooled.
Initially, children may require a lot of help. You will need to be patient and have hand towels ready to deals with any spills. Ideally, you should serve tea whilst sitted at the table and you may need to help your child learn how to handle the tea mug. Stay calm and try to make the experience a positive and enjoyable one.
