I'd say perhaps. Its depends on the parents and the child. Everyone and their child is different (of course).
As long as theres adult supervision THERE (of course) I don't see anything wrong. Heaven forbid if he accidently pokes himself with a sharp knife in the water and/or wants to see what the dish detergent taste like cause it looks like sugar syrup or whateva.
Be there to guide him/her for their first few years or several years till you are ABSOLUTELY 100% confident that they can handle it on their own.
I'm sure you will make the right decision rather you decide to go for it or wait.
Me personally, from experience, I'd probably wait. I say this cause when you AREN'T looking the child may wanna "show you " they can handle it w/o you so you can be proud of them and something bad might happen and the only person that would be to blame would be you the parent. Its always the parents fault (sad).

My God what kind of a Mother are you.. My children never did any chores until they were 10 yrs.old. I wanted my children to have normal lives. Not to be my slave.
Maybe I am from the old school, a women's job is clean the house / care for the kids / and do all the cleaning up / my hubby helped cause we had 3 kids { 2 girls 1 boy }.
My kids learned to be kids. They knew how to put their toys away and where their dirty cloths went. And how to keep their rooms clean, but that was it.

My parents had me helping with dishes at age 3 or 4. I had a little plastic chair that I would stand on to reach the sink. It was like I game. I remember liking the bubbles and the warm water. I think its okay to have him help but don't leave him alone with it for a few years yet.

I had regular chores at an age earlier than that.
Having useful work to do builds character. A lack of useful work experience leads to a useless person. That's why so very many people raised in privileged conditions are such absolute rotters.

Ofcourse it'z too soon!!!!!!!!!!! he's 2yrz old for God'z sake!
Instead of forcing him to do something he's too younge to do, try to "programme" him on for example, throwing away the left overz, putting the dirty dishez in the sink, that sorta' thing..
but to actually make a 2yr old WASH THE DISHEZ is INSANE!! ur asking too much of the child! he'z still a baby & won't fully understand what to do, Also, arn't u worried a glass or something might slip from hiz handz while he'z trying to clean them & break & hurt him????!?!??!! My sister won't even let her 3yr old baby boy CARRY hiz plate!!! WTF!!! he'z not in boot camp!!

Sure, if you like 2 inches of water on the kitchen floor. It'll keep him busy.

Maybe a little but have him help pull them out of the dishwasher if you have one..Keep the plastic dishes low..You teach him now and he will want to do it willingly later in life.

Your questions make me laugh! As long as there aren't any knives, forks or broken dishes sure why not?!

If you really want to teach him some mild responsibility, you can hand him plastic cups/utensils to put away. Anything else could be dangerous.
I think it's a bit young, but he might enjoy helping out.:)
