How Your Kids Can Keep Their Bedrooms Clean
2

• Kids are quick to make a mess in their bedrooms,
  but are often not so quick to tidy them up. For
  some parents, its a relentless battle, trying to
  get their kids to pick up after themselves, clean
  up spillages and generally keep their rooms clean
  and tidy. If youre struggling with untidy kids,
  here are a few tips for encouraging them to keep
  their bedrooms clean
• Dont let them have too many toys, items of
  furniture or clothes
• We all know that our kids dont really need a
  whole load of stuff in their rooms, after all,
  they can only play with one toy at a time, sit on
  one chair at a time and wear one set of clothes
  at a time, so try to limit the amount of stuff
  that they keep in there, and theyll find it much
  easier to clean.

• Make sure everything has its place
• If its clear to your kids where each item should
  go once theyve finished with it, then theyll
  find it easier to be tidy. Having plenty of
  storage space means that there will simply be no
  excuse for them to not put their toys away, and
  they wont have to fight to cram items into an
  already crowded cupboard or drawer.
• Show your kids how you expect them to keep their
  rooms clean and tidy
• Kids need clear instructions in life and unless
  you show them exactly how you expect them to keep
  their rooms clean and tidy, they may not be
  motivated enough, or knowledgeable enough to be
  able to do it unaided.

• Create a bedroom cleaning chart
• If you dont have the time or the inclination to
  show your kids how you want them to clean their
  rooms, then you could compile a simple chart that
  they can refer to in your absence, to help them.
• Try to fit a short bedroom cleaning session into
  every day
• Encouraging your kids to keep on top of the
  cleaning and tidying away in their rooms, will
  soon make it something that they automatically do
  every day. It will also prevent their rooms from
  looking like a bombsite.

• A bedroom that hasnt been kept clean and tidy,
  is worthy of punishment
• If there are no consequences for your kids when
  they dont keep their bedrooms clean and tidy,
  then theyll be far less motivated to bother
  doing it. That isnt to say that they should be
  grounded or made to sit on a naughty step, but a
  suitable penalty should be fixed.
• Accept that their rooms may never be spotless
• Kids should be cut a certain amount of slack, and
  you should be appreciative if they have attempted
  to keep their room clean and tidy, even if it
  doesnt quite meet your standard. The focus
  should be on the effort that has gone into it,
  rather than the perfect result.
