Directions:
Max feels that he's too short to do anything. To help your child feel good about being small, give him some jobs that are good for someone his size. You might ask him to put things away in a low cabinet, dust the baseboards or under a table, hold the dustpan while you sweep.
Make a chart that shows the many jobs your child has done for you. Let him know that the reason he was able to do the jobs so well was because he was just the right size.
Ask your child to think of other jobs that he is just the right size to do. Then talk about what jobs he might like to do as he gets bigger.
