I have three daughters,ages 7,2 and 2.I live with them,without the father(he is in another country).Anyway,I don't have anyone to leave the kids with while I'm at work(8 hours a day) and they usually stay at home alone.I don't send my 7-year-old to school,because she,as the oldest,has to look after the twins(who are younger).So far,she has learnt these: washing her hair and combing it,making sandwiches,keeping the room clean(putting the toys to their places),using the telephone,etc.She is also learnt how to take care of the twins - she has the food ready and just gives it them at lunch,she makes them go to bed for a nap some time during day.She knows all the rules and keeps them - no using cookers,electric stoves,boiler, not opening the doors to strangers,etc.She is very mature.Should I teach her how to cook easy things and clean with a rag and what other things could I teach her do at that age?
