Keep the Tasks Simple
When first teaching your children how to clean, you want to keep the tasks you give them simple and short. For example, telling your toddler to clean their room could be overwhelming, and they would have no idea where to start. However, telling your toddler to pick up their toys is a management task that they can do.
Model Great Cleaning Behavior
One of the best things you can do is to show your children how cleaning is important. By keeping your home nice and tidy, you will set the expectation that they should help keep it clean, too. Plus, by showing them how to clean, they will be more likely to join in.
Make Cleaning Fun
Kids love to have fun, and if you make cleaning fun, it won’t seem like such a chore. You can play music and dance while you clean, or you can make a game of cleaning. For example, you can see who can pick up the most Legos. The sky’s the limit!
Offer Rewards
Most kids love to earn a sticker or some treat (such as homemade brownies) for doing a task. You can offer rewards in order to incentivize your kids to clean. This is a great way to motivate your kids and get things done as well.
