How can I motivate my kids to clean their room?
So I’ve got a five year old and a two year old. Both girls, they are very well behaved kids and for the most part they listen pretty well, I mean they are kids. But when it comes to keeping their rooms clean it seems as though they go deaf. I can seriously tell them every ten minutes all day long. Now I understand the two year old isn’t going to run to her room and clean it, but she sure knows how to destroy it! So any ideas on a good way to motivate them?
My dad use to tell us if we didn’t clean up our toys he would take them away and give them to needy kids and if our rooms were dirty he would actually take them and put them in a big plastic bag and hide them for 2 days in the back of the car. This use to work excellent. :-)
sweets, chocolate, presents. hide sweets under their bed and under untidy things that need cleaning. say I’ve got sweets hidden in your room but to find them you’ll have to clean becasue they are lost. that’s how my mum did it then grew out of it and she does it herself now!
I have a 2 year old and when I tell her to do sumthing and she does it I giver a quarter, and I let her put it in her piggy bank her self, it shows her how to save money lol at a young age and makes her feel rewarded plus its money being saved its not to much and its not to little, it will easily add up. Hope I helped
try an incentive.. nothing big just something you know they will take the bait for.. going out for ice cream is a good one, just don’t do it all the time or they will expect an incentive for everything =)
and by the way, my mom did that whole threatening thing, never worked for her I just grew up to be defiant and found ways around it..
I have two girls and they went through that very same stage. What I did was I cleaned their with them to show them where things went and then they started doing their rooms theirselves. I agree with you about your two year old. I know this may sound mean but I threatened my girls that if they didnt clean up their room and take care of their toys I would give their toys away. Needless to say that worked and also dont be afraid to give them positive reinforcement on the backside or not allow them to do a favorite activity or watch a favorite t.v. shown etc. I hope I helped
well making up a song and helping them a little help’s most of the time you could bribe them but that really shouldn’t be a option telling them they can’;t have some thing till they do do it help’s at times I mean like take w,e they have and don’t let them have it back till they do it they will most likely say they hate you after but Oh well there supposed to at that age and so on till there like 18 lol but yea just try that if it don’t work then I don’t know
do it before bed time and bribe with a bed time story x
That seems like more work than just helping them clean! Plus I’d end up with chubby kids!!
presents
Satr chart I think would be the best solution.
