If your parents are planning the next cleaning of the apartment for the weekend, tell your baby in detail what you are doing and why. Children may not fully understand the words, but they listen carefully, watch and remember what mom and dad are doing.
Explain that:
- Washing the windows is necessary to make them transparent - then the room will be light and beautiful.
- Small debris is swept away with a broom or passed along the floor with a vacuum cleaner so that the carpet takes on a neat look.
- Correctly arranged things can be found quickly and easily.
From 4-5 years old, a son or daughter should be directly involved in the process. Of course, window cleaning will not be available to them for safety reasons, and no one will allow them to carry heavy buckets of water for cleaning the floors. But children are quite capable of putting things in order in their room, neatly arranging their clothes and accessories on the drawers of the chest of drawers, removing them from chairs and beds.
Adults should remember: do not shout, much less punish a sloppy child. This is the result of parental neglect. Any kid can be taught to clean with a little time. Please be patient - perhaps not everything will work out right away. Do not demand in a categorical form perfect cleanliness, let the baby learn gradually. But then the result will pleasantly please you, and the grown-up son will not need to be reminded of the next cleaning.
What a child should be able to do: basic requirements.
If you have a global cleaning after repairs, entrust it to the professionals of the cleaning company move out cleaning
... Only the most simple manipulations will fall to the share of children, in accordance with their height, age and physical capabilities.
A kid by 4-5 years old should be able to:
1.Put away your toys after a fun game. The rule is simple and straightforward - “you love to ride, love to carry sledges”. Turn ordinary action into a fun experience by portraying it as a secret mission of an undercover agent or a high-speed competition between dad and son. You should not resort to threats, promising to throw out his favorite car, or give it to other children - this is a merciless and very strong blow to the fragile child's psyche. An unusual but effective way is to secretly complain to your child as a best friend that guests will come to you, and the house is such a mess. The result will be immediate - the baby will immediately put all his affairs aside and go to your aid.
2.Sorting things and cleaning the wardrobes. Parents should show this by their own example.
3.Wipe down the kitchen table and wash the dishes. Everything is simple here - regularly praise your baby for being neat and tidy. Show how to eat and wash the plate after you. Don't worry about broken dishes - we all learn from our mistakes.
