Setting the Table - When you aren't using your best china, have
your child help you set the table. - Have her count the number
of people who will be eating, then count out the same number of
knives, forks, spoons, plates, napkins, and so on. - Show her
how to place everything on the table properly. - For younger
children, you may want to set the plates and other breakables
yourself, and have your child help you with silverware and
napkins-- unless, of course, you are using paper plates!
