Who wants to 'help'
Step 1: Eat a big breakfast - feed yourself and the kid.
Step 2 - Allow the kid to read the instructions and lay out the parts - let him feel like a 'part' of it.
Step 3 - Organize the parts to your liking and take a deep breath - remember - this is going to be a while!
Step 4 - Talk out aloud and describe the steps - ask for assistance in locating parts should you need it. Praise the child for trying to help!
Et voila - a few hours later - you just might have made a family-furniture piece!
