3. Offer Incentives- If you offer children a reward for cleaning their room, they might be more motivated to do the work. How about a special dessert, or 15 minutes of extra screen time? The incentive may vary depending on the household, but the outcome will be the exact same… A clean room!
4. Provide Your Children with Proper Storage- With toys, clothes, shoes, and decorations, a child’s room can be easily cluttered. By providing kiddos with a place to put all of their things, you are making it easier for the child to understand your expectations as a parent for a tidy room. For example, all toys must go in the toy bin, and all dirty clothes must go in the laundry hamper.
5. Make It a Game- Children often find cleaning their room a rather dull task. Set a timer when your children are cleaning so they can see how fast they are completing the tasks. Keep score, and show your child their improvement. This might encourage healthy competition within your child, and make cleaning fun!
