Kids Can Clean part 2
In the last blog I told you that your kids can clean their rooms. In this post I want to search out some of the reasons why they don’t right now.
You ask, plead, cajole, bribe, threaten but do you act like a mature adult and give consequences if it isn’t done?
Did you know that kids get an average of 70 new toys a year? Where do all those toys go? If you have a playroom you are fortunate, if not they are stuffed in every available crevice in your child’s room and probably in the living room, bathroom, your bedroom, the dining room and I be the kitchen has a few too. There are just too many for Junior’s room.
I know you go in there and clean maybe once every 6 months, maybe more maybe less. The biggest problem is that Junior has too many toys and couldn’t keep his room clean even if he wanted. He is totally overwhelmed!!
So give him a little slack. Get in there and purge what he doesn’t play with any more. Throw away the broken ones. Give away the ones that are too young for him.
Cool. Now that he only has a couple left, I bet he can manage to clean his room.
