A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEOwnership includes noticing, planning, doing, and checking the result. Preparing a meal involves more than cooking: knowing supplies, dietary needs, timing, and what remains to clean up. Identify a responsibility you can hold without waiting for another adult to organise it.
Write down what the task includes and where information is kept. Learn necessary safety and health guidance from reliable sources and qualified professionals. Do not assume that doing the most visible part gives you the full picture. Shared knowledge makes a handover possible and reduces the burden of constantly asking someone else what to do.
