While my daughter was on kindy holiday's, i had no choice but to take her shopping with me. I didn't mind at all, as i know she's a great helper. Being 4 next month, she's still learning colours, shapes etc, so what i do, is we go around, and i will ask her to get me something like banana's, and she'll put them in the bag for me and put them into the trolley, and we will continue this around the store.
I will also ask her what colour a certain item is, how many are in the front row of a certain item and so on. It's fun for them, and they are also learning. I also allow my daughter to help me put the groceries onto the conveyer belt to be scanned and paid for, and only just started to allow her to give the checkout operator the money.
They are always commenting on how good she is at what she's doing, and she never plays up. I always tell them what i do, and they always think it's a great idea.
So if your child maybe plays up a little at the shops, then give this ago. This won't work on all parents and children, but it's worth a try.
