5 Top Tips For Cleaning With Your Kids

• Getting your family involved when trying to
  maintain a clean and tidy home, is vital, and not
  just the adults. Without the support and input of
  the grown-up members of the household and the
  kids, it will be hard for you alone to keep on
  top of things, and before you know it, your home
  will begin to resemble a bombsite.
• Begin by sitting down with your family and
  talking about how you want them to help you to
  keep their home tidy, and remind them that its
  their responsibility too. Very small children or
  elderly adults may of course not be able to
  contribute much, but even the act of vocalising
  your displeasure at having a dirty or messy home,
  will make you feel as if a weight has been lifted
  off your shoulders.

• If you have a good, supportive family, then the
  adults will empower the children and help them to
  keep things clean and tidy, collectively.
• Here are 5 tips for cleaning with your kids
• Playtime must have rules
• You dont have to spoil their fun, but you must
  make them understand that when they have finished
  playing with something, it needs to go back where
  they found it before they get the next toy or
  game out of the toy box (and toy boxes are very
  handy for throwing miscellaneous items into when
  you have unexpected guests!

• Clear play zones and toy storage areas
• It might be fun for your kids to play all over
  the house, but this will only encourage them to
  be messy and leave clutter lying around. Allocate
  a play zone to them and then clearly label an
  area or boxes, so that they know where their play
  items must go when theyve finished with them.
• Make cleaning fun
• I know this sounds like the impossible, but youd
  be surprised how enjoyable cleaning can be with
  the addition of some party tunes! Music that you
  know your

• kids enjoy listening to and which is likely to
  make them feel good should be blasting out
  while they perform their chores and if they take
  a couple of minutes out for a quick shimmy, then
  so be it!
• Make sure that they clean properly
• Whats the point in enlisting the help of your
  kids to clean, if you need to go behind them and
  redo it all? Try to teach them the meaning of
  cleaning something properly, and how they can
  achieve it. Reward them for their efforts, and
  you might even find them offering to help you
  clean!

• Allow them to judge their cleaning efforts
• Let your kids take turns at being cleaning
  inspectors, and allow them to judge theirs (and
  your own), cleaning efforts. Let them reprimand
  each other (politely and in a fun way!) if they
  find that a job hasnt been completed to their
  satisfaction, and they will love the feeling of
  responsibility that has been given to them. This
  should also instill a sense of pride in them.
• The above list is by no means exhaustive, and
  once you begin getting your kids involved in
  keeping your home clean and tidy, you may develop
  some new methods and techniques of your own. Good
  luck and happy cleaning!
