I don’t think it’s that hard to bring milk inside and put it on the counter.

When we were getting groceries out of the car my daughter came out and started to bring the milk inside. Even with both of her hands holding the container she struggled a lot to bring it in. She did OK-ish the first couple of seconds from the car to the edge of the garage, but before she even got out of the garage she started really struggling quite a bit, and she still had to go all the way into the house and into the kitchen. She also wasn’t strong enough to get the milk higher than her lower chest, so she wasn’t strong enough to put the milk all the way up on the countertop., and our kitchen counters are just typical height for kitchen counters.

This was all right after she came out and flexed her arms explaining to me how she was super strong.

would you say that she is strong? After looking it up a little gallon of milk is only 8 pounds, which is not even close to being heavy.

My son is 6 and carries milk in the house. But my daughter was much older before she was able to do that.

How old is your child?

She is 7. And we’re talking about an 8 pound gallon of milk. And putting that 8 pound gallon of milk up on your regular kitchen counters that are at a regular height

First Boys are stronger than girls.

When my dd was 6 she could barely carry a milk jug partly because she didn't want to (she hates chores) but also because she wasn't strong enough.

On the other hand my ds that is 6, carries 2 jugs of milk in from the car at once. He struggles, especially with putting it on the counter, so we have him place them on the table, with it but has gotten better over time.

Hope that helps.

I'm not sure what the intent of your question is but if you're asking if I would tell her she's strong without a prompt from her, I might or I might not. Depends on the kid and whether or not she seemed to be looking for affirmation that she's strong. If you're asking if I would respond to her flexing her arms and explaining how super strong she is, I probably would say something like, "You sure are! Look at those muscles!" (What would be the reason for telling her something like, "Well, honey, a gallon of milk really isn't all that heavy and you still struggled with it. You aren't as strong as you think you are" ?) Either way, I would make it a point to thank her for working so hard to help bring in the milk.
