Earlier today as the kids were cleaning up for lunch work I sent the 4-year-old to tidy up the playroom. It was a mess that had mostly been created by his younger brother and himself. He went in and immediately said, ‘Momma, I can’t do it by myself!.’

I explained to him that if he would just choose one thing at a time to put away he could indeed do it by himself. He put away all the books and then he attempted to put the cushions back on the couch and chair. He couldn’t do it. I watched him try and try. He struggled but he kept on trying.
