Tips to Encourage Tidy Habits in your Kids!
Children desire routine and need
expectations. Remind your child that
your family is a team and need to work together to get jobs done! Children of all ages can play a part in
keeping the house tidy! Household chores
can instill a sense of responsibility, competence, self-reliance and self-worth
in your child!
1.
Turn cleaning into a game. Encourage your child to find the messy or
dirty areas of the house and clean them up!
2.
Adjust the steps and complexity to match your
child’s age. He/she will be more
successful and enthusiastic about a cleaning task that is the “just right”
challenge.
3.
Be consistent and follow through. Give your child specific cleaning goals and
reward them when they have completed them.
4.
Choose family-friendly cleaning products to put
your mind at ease while your child helps clean.
