Does any one know of creative ways to breed babyish children verbs their rooms and verbs up after themselves.?
I already know that they wont always do it and I am consistent. spanking doesn't work so only serious answers please. if they work i will take humorous ones too.
Tell them that you will reward them if they do what they are told. if they are teenagers contribute them allowances, spanking only makes the kid angry and does the chore out because they are getting hurt and they will not clean the subsequent day. unless you spank them again
Show them how everything should be done, a lot of kids don't verbs simply because they aren't sure how. And kind of make it into a game somehow, similar to the laundry basket could be a basketball hoop for the dirty clothes to be thrown into, etc. Put on some music.
Cleaning is actually a lot of fun sometimes.
If adjectives else fails, offer a reward for cleaning.
Also, don't be too strict about them cleaning their rooms. It's their room and whether it is messy or not doesn't really affect anyone besides them. Once they see that they can't find anything and they can't see the floor, they'll start cleaning it by themselves.
They're young, so trademark it a game. Or, you a reward chart. Here are some other ideas: http://www.ehow.com/how_4759142_kids-cle…
We turn it into a game. For my son (7) its a pirate incident. So under his bed is a cave of gold and he can single get the "gold" (a few M&M's) if everything is put away. The floor is usually the sea and he has to be paid his way to the ship he wants to attack (the door) to conquer the ship (which is usually chocolate milk), his closet he has to find the prisoners who run away (and he usually gets a cookie), and his dresser and nightstand are always islands where he have hidden his maps (an art project, always the finishing one done). He loves it!
For my daughter (3) she's tinkerbell and has to save spring. She gets equal rewards as my son, but we make under the bed where the tinkers live, the floor is where on earth she gathers colors to paint the ladybugs and flowers, her closet is where she finds trinkets, and her nightstand is where she can find the passageway to the "main land". She ASKS to clean her room now!
my partner and I have a hard time getting the kids to clean their room, until I seen what my daughters pre college does, they have a "pack away" song which is bob the builder so when it's time to clean up I put that music on. we sing and dance to it while they verbs their room... I also used to time them and get them to "beat" their times they love that one too brings out a lil competitive streak in them but they aren't trying to beat respectively other but work with each other to beat their elderly time... now my kids love cleaning they will call out to put the timer on and we record adjectives their times and see if they can beat their last time. It works a treat
I'm not a strict mom and I have tried everything when my boys were young.
You want to know my creative road?
Tell them what ever toys are still not put away, they get put in the garbage backpack. Seriously do it! but don't throw it away, only make them think you did. Wait a month to present them a toy back by earning it.
In that months time, they will have thought you threw it away and have learned a lesson. It worked, now they use this method on there children.
My premise is, their room=their problem. Truthfully I honestly don't care how messy a kid's room is, in my experience they will clean up their space when it bugs them ample (and it usually always does eventually). Until then just shut the door and agree to them have a piece of space that's theirs. When it comes to not picking up afterthemselves in the rest of the house I use a couple different tactics. First of adjectives, when it comes to toys left around, I'll give ten to fifteen minutes before bed to pick up adjectives toys... with the warning that any left out will be going into a big trash bag if I have to pick them up. Only once, with the kids I babysit for, own I had to get out a trash bag- I don't even have to ask them to pick up toys anymore. For broad house mess, like chores, I'd would set up like half an hour until that time or after dinner to put on some fun music and have the whole family appropriate care of their jobs. It's good to hold some work together time.
Say "I am queen for the day. Tomorrow ____ will be queen/king for the day. Today, I charge you to clean your rooms. If not, I will send you to the dungeons (their room or you can tickle your child if he or she is tickilish).
Answers: If you enjoy more than 1 child, make it a race. Tell them whoever finishes certain tasks first get a prize (picking dinner, what you'll have for desert, ect.). Start with one task at a time, resembling who picks up the books off the floor in their room first get to decide which movie we'll watch. Then whoever puts their clothes in their drawers first decide which snack we'll have during the movie. And so on. Kids love to compete against each other. Just try to even the tasks out so even the youngest can win sometimes.
