How to involve your kids into house cleaning (part 2).

Hello again my fellow readers! Today we’ll continue our discussion on how to make your kids help you with house cleaning.
Last time we were talking about transforming a house cleaning into funny game. So let’s take a look on another way of how to do that.
Kids adore sweets. It’s a truth. Always there are an exceptions but they are very few. Frequently it’s true. So why don’t you use that knowledge to work on you? All you need to do is to think about how you can use it in your purpose. For example you can award your kids for cleaning something. They can clean their room and get desirable treatment, or you may organize a competition “who is faster?” the winner will get bigger prize, looser smaller, it’s important, because if that kids who loose and don’t get a treatment can take offence and don’t participate in this competition. That’s why small award is important.
Another way is to play for wishes. You may give tasks to your kids, and when they done they ask some wishes. Competition is also suitable here. The winner can ask 2 wishes for example. The wishes could be different, but you should make some borders, because children may ask something expensive and then it will be easier to hire house cleaning company instead ))))))
For example they can ask to don’t do other domestic stuff, like dish washing, grass cutting etc, or they can choose a day and a place where to go with a family (park, lake, movie etc.)
And another way of how to make your kids to help you with house cleaning is to promise them to go to café or movie, hiking or picnic. It’s common to previous proposal, but little bit different, because this time you choose where to go and propose your kids as a “surprise”. Kids love surprises. That’s why this can work.

How to involve your kids into house cleaning. (part one)

Probably a lot of moms ask themselves this question every time when cleaning time has come.
But not many of moms can make their kids to help them. There are some decisions which may help you to get wanted results.
First of all DON’T let your kids manipulate yourself. Every child on subconscious level feels where he can find own interest. Be tough, but not too much. There should be a discipline in everything, and if you keep it, you’ll make it.
Never MAKE your kids to clean their rooms or something, just ask for that. Never shout on your kids, they can copy your character and shout instead. Be patient, if you heard negative answer on your recourse, just stay calm and with smile on your face tell them that if they wont clean, they wont get any treatment nearest month. That’s all))) In many cases this works well, but always there are an exclusions.
The better way to make your kids to help you with house cleaning is to transform this cleaning on some kind of game. Kids love to play!
For example you may play in treasure hunters. For this you’ll need a map, you may draw it buy yourself, to give it ancient appearance just spill some coffee on the paper and shade with brush.
Draw there a plan of your apartment and rooms or places which need cleaning. Then rip the map on few pieces and place in each room where you’d like them to clean. So when your kids will clean the room you will tell them where the piece of map is hided. Step by step they will combine all pieces and see where the main treasure is. Think carefully where you can place it. Maybe attic of basement will serve the best for that. You can use whatever you want as a treasure: sweets, meal, toys or other useful stuff.
REMEMBER: kids are kids, if you’d like them to help – just put yourself on their place and think what should be done to involve them in house cleaning.
