When i choose to become a work at home mum, the only benefits for my kids i always have in mind is to to be able to spend more time and have greater bonding with them. After this long period from working from home, i realise my kids  are actually involved in my work and they learn a different side of life that was preparing them to fit into the society in future.

So how are they able to be involved in my work?

1. They count stocks for me. My kids know how to arrange the stocks in order and while doing so, they learn counting and also foster order practice.
2. They stick my labels on my stocks. Pasting the stickers stimulate their motor skills and they learnt how to stick the label in the right matter so that the wording appear readable. Through this simple "play" , they are expose to alphabets characters and also learn position ( center / left / right)
3. My kids loves stamping. All my receipts are stamped with the company chop and they always volunteer to do the stamping. They feel that it is so much fun and simply love this task.  This again work on their motor skills
   
4. Punches . It is always an interesting hobby for them. They get to punch my invoices, stock card and all.
5. Sticking. Indeed 2 mini post officers in my home… Sticking stamps on the envelope as become their daily activities. (plus it a great way to prevent them from sticking stickers all over the house)
6. Wrapping. My kids love to help when i am wrapping stocks. One will hand me the brochure and the other a name card. Together they will fight over who scotch tape is longer and stick it on the parcel. While doing so, they learn how to wrap things and what are the materials required. Sometimes they  use the scissor and does cutting too.. left over bits and pieces are used to make paper crown or braclets for the girls

Through involving my kids with my work, it actually prepares them when they goes to society because they see what is adult work. My kids know when i am at the laptop that mummy is working and my stocks are not to be messed with because it is mummy's work. Becoming a work at home mum does require effort and persistance. Involving your child makes the journey easier and makes bonding stronger too and yes your kids learn so much more from you.
