Chores for toddlers are important even if they are not very helpful. It might take you longer to help your 3 year old to do something than it would take you to do it yourself. However, getting toddlers to do chores is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, toddlers are eager to help. They want to feel independent and capable of doing things on their own.
