Help or Let Me Try? Preschool Everyday Task Support Guide

This 17-page guide gives parents and caregivers a flexible decision pathway for choosing how to support a preschool child during everyday tasks. Follow the questions about safety, attempts, comfort, and the need for help to decide when to pause, encourage, offer a hint, model a step, or help together. It supports children’s growing independence while reminding adults to notice each child’s cues and adjust support as the moment changes. Use it as a practical reference when children are practising daily routines and self-help skills.
