Delegation

As a Mom, we get so caught up in taking care of everyone else literally and figuratively. By getting caught up, I mean we take on their problems as our own even neglecting our own needs. We are responsible for many people, but we shouldn’t take on everyone’s problem. If we do, how are they going to learn to take care of themselves?





What is delegation? It means to allow another person to perform tasks to aid in getting things done. Through delegation we can teach our family to be independent and self-sufficient. Of course, before delegating tasks you must consider the person’s age and maturity.



Experiment!

1. Think of several tasks you do for your child
2. Write them done
3. Are there any of the tasks on the list that they could start doing for themselves?
4. If they can’t completely do it alone, can you teach them to do a portion to help you get more tasks done?




I really encourage you start delegating task. Even if it is tough at first helping your child learn what is expected of him or her, the benefits of someone else completing tasks besides you will be very rewarding. You will experience peace and complete tasks quicker.
