How often do you finish cleaning a room only to turn around and find your kids followed behind you and messed it up as you moved along? GRRRR! Frustrating to be sure, but hey, they're kids. Cleaned To Perfection found these tips given by Lysol which may just help. The idea is to encourage your children to help with household chores thereby instilling a sense of responsibility in them.
- Teach By Example: Show your child(ren) the proper way to complete the task then step back and give them space so they can do it on their own.
- Let Go: No one likes working with someone looking over their shoulder! Try not to hover and watch over their shoulder. Chances are good that they will not complete the task the same way you would, but give them time to practice and get it right.
- Communication Is Key: If you want your child(ren) to take responsibility for helping to keep your home clean, then make sure they know what their responsibility is. Create a household chore cart and be sure to offer praise when their chores are completed.
- Clean Routine: Choose family friendly cleaning products that are safe to use around children.
Thank you Lysol for sharing these tips with us. These tips can be useful even if Cleaned To Perfection does the cleaning in your home! Utilize these practices to straighten up; put toys, games, and clothes away; clean up after oneself in the bathroom; and so much more. Teach your kids to straighten and clean as they move through their day and enjoy a peaceful and comfortable living space!
