Having a child can be one of the most amazing things in life. Keeping their room clean, on the other hand, can sometimes be a bit of a hassle. From core organization, to maintenance, it can be a little difficult to keep your child’s room looking good as new. There a few tricks of the trade in order to keep your child on track, and help them learn about the importance of a clean bedroom. Let’s dive in to a few of these strategies.
Build a Routine
Routines are very important, especially for children, as they are essentially the backbone to every day life. They help to make like increasingly easier, as well as allow you to save time in the long run. An example of this, in relation to cleaning a bedroom, could be setting up a room clean up right before bed time. This could allow your child to get in the habit of cleaning their room a little bit every night, saving you the hassle of having to clean up a giant mess later down the road.
Create Incentives
A good way to make dure you child keeps their room cleaned, is by creating incentives for them. By doing this, they will be positively reinforced. This means that if they do something good, they will receive something good, whether that is a physical item or praise, etc. An example of something that could be done in order to keep a child on track is to create a calendar, saying that if they clean their room every single night, and keep their room clean for every day over the course of a month, then they can get a toy. Anything similar to this could easily work!
Make Things Easier to Put Away
By making things easier to put away than get out, you can start to ensure that the less things will be taken out of place, and by default, less things will be out of place, or a part of a mess. The strategy to do this is by creating an extremely simplistic organization method. By labeling drawers for specific items, or labeling bins for specific items, you give every item a place. Once every item has its place, things become much easier to put away.
