The summer holidays
are fast coming up, and we all know what a task it is going to be to keep the
kids occupied the entire day. Helping them take some small steps towards
keeping spaces clean is a great foundation for them, and also serves the
purpose of giving them something to do. Here are some tips:
Set a time and a timer: Young children don’t like being
surprised with a chore or a task, so a good way to go about it is to discuss it
with them to let them know when you expect them to help you with cleaning. Also
make sure that you only do one or two chores of a maximum of 10 minutes, else
they’ll tire of the activity too soon.
Make it a game: The easiest way to make something
interesting for kids is to make it a game or a challenge. Ask them to count how
many toys they can put away in 5 minutes, or how many waste pieces of paper
they can throw away, with a prize thrown in occasionally for the best results.
They will look forward to cleaning a whole lot more for sure.

Task depending on age: Assign tasks based on how old the
children are, you know best about who is capable of how much. Kids older than
10 would love to help with “tougher” tasks like vacuuming, if you ensure that
they are responsible for easy to access spaces. You can always get to the
corners and hidden places for dirt in a later round by yourself.
Teach them to clean up after
themselves: Kids will
learn soon that the best way to spend less time on cleaning is to make sure
that things are put away after use. All they need is a bit of guidance, and a
few gentle reminders along the way and soon it’ll be a habit.
