Keep the Kid’s Bedrooms Clean (with a little help from them)
One of the most common reasons for children not cleaning their room is that their bedroom is not equipped to easily put things away. With a few simple bedroom improvements your kids will not only find it easier to clean, but they will also take ownership and responsibility of their part of the house.
Children’s clothes cause most of the strife in keeping the bedroom tidy, so making their closet and drawer space easy to use is important. First, the hanging rods in the closet are often two high for children to use. Lowering them is not complicated and will cost you very little money to do. Both brackets and rods are not expensive, and you only need a screwdriver to install them. Secondly, the hangers your kids use need to be a size and shape that make it easy for them to put their clothes away. The hangers might even be colored or decorated to make clean up time fun.
Make sure that everything in your child’s room has a place. For example, toys go in the trunk and coats hang on the hooks by the door. Labeling shelves, hooks, and drawers with cartoon pictures, colors, or words will help them remember where everything goes and can also become a fun came of memory. The largest storage place in the room needs to be for dirty clothes. The bigger and lower the basket is, the more likely a child will use it, and the same is true of a wastebasket. If these baskets are two small, clothes and other objects will quickly begin to pile up on the floor. The same may be true in your own bedroom, so it is good to provide a good example for them and keep your own bedroom clean. If there is not enough space for all of your child’s things to have a place, consider purchasing organizing containers or add-on drawers to go under the bed.
These are just a few incredibly simple ways to get your kids involved in taking care of the house. By exercising these suggestions and continuing to think of new ways to make clean up simpler, you can eliminate many of the issues that keep families from having more quality time with each other. When considering how to keep your house neat and organized, remember to communicate clearly, lead by example, and provide a suitable environment for your children to be effective helpers.
