Teaching Children to Clean Their Bedroom Amy Smith, February 20, 2022February 19, 2022 Teaching Children to Clean Their Bedroom Every child loves to make a mess. It can be very frustrating for parents when their child’s bedroom becomes the child’s own personal garbage dump. However, if you take some time every day and teach your children proper cleaning techniques, they will learn to clean up after themselves. Make Your Child Part of the Process When it’s time to clean, make your child part of the cleaning process. Get down on the floor with them and show them which toys are dirty and need to be put away. Teach them how they can help you clean up their room. This will give them a sense of ownership over the room and make them feel like they are helping to clean. Have a Place for Everything To teach your child to clean their bedroom, you need to make sure that everything has a place in the child’s room. By having a place for everything in their bedroom, such as books and toys, it will be easy for your child to clean up their room. Give Them a Routine Make cleaning your child’s bedroom part of the daily routine. This way, it will be easy for your child to remember what needs to get done when it is time to clean. After you have put away the child’s toys, make sure that they show you the child’s room is clean and in order. This will help them to develop a sense of responsibility and show them how fun cleaning can be. Stay Positive Sometimes, children get frustrated when they don’t know how to clean their bedroom. It is important to stay positive with your child and let them know that you are there to help them. If you are positive with your child, they will be more likely to try new things that you ask of them. Reward Your Children Once your child has learned how to keep their bedroom clean, make sure to reward the child for a job well done. This shows the child that cleaning is an important part of life and will help them to stay clean. Try a Cleaning Chart If your child is having a tough time learning how to keep their bedroom organized, try a cleaning chart. You can make a child’s bedroom cleaning chart together and hang it on the child’s door. On the sheet, write down each step of cleaning out the child’s room and make a check box next to each step once it is completed. This way, the child will have a visual representation of what needs to be done. Limit your child’s toys If they get a new toy, they need to be willing to get rid of an old toy. You can even limit your child’s toys to just a few favorites and rotate others weekly. This will help them to keep their room clean. Teaching your child at a young age how to clean their bedroom can be very rewarding for you as a parent. By showing your child how fun cleaning can be, you are also teaching them responsibility and good habits. Connect with My Four and More on Social Media!
