Getting Kids to Help Clean Up
Be very specific about what you want your child to do. "Clean your room" is vague to most children as well as overwhelming. I usually gather all of the things that I want my son to put away on his bed so that he doesnīt miss anything. It also makes it easier for me to dust and vacuum because his toys are out of the way.
When Kids Wonīt Clean Up
After children have a chance to put their belongings away, and havenīt, place the items in a box. Your kids can redeem them by doing extra chores around the house. This is not a punishment, this is an exchange of labor -- you had to pick up their stuff, now they have to do something for you. Donīt make chores a punishment. If you think of housework as a punishment yourself, you need to get things straight in your own mind. Certain tasks simply must be done to keep a household running. Doing them doesnīt make you a servant. You do it for the good of the family --including yourself.
