Let them run Mini-Mole in their bedroom while they put away their toys, and their room will be picked up before they even realize what just happened!

Wow, this is a really cool strategy for your daughter! I like it a lot! I don’t have kids myself, but I do think teaching them to be responsible for their own belongings and their own space is a great way to set them up for life, so good on you!

My kids really like cleaning and always help me when i need help. I’ve labeled toy bins with interesting pictures and they like sorting their toys. Thanks for the list of age-appropriate cleaning tasks, it’s very useful. Greets!

My parents said the only way i could vacuum was if i cleaned up first…nice blackmailing mom and dad

Inspired by your “10-Minute-pre-guest-tidy” video and this one (got me thinking), I introduced my daughter (5) to a daily “one-song-tidy-up”. She can choose a CD and for one song, she shall look around and clean her room in an organized manner. I taught her to stand with her back to the closed door of her room and stretch out her arm. Then, starting from one wall, she shall move her arm like a pointer of a clock, move it slowly and look, if she sees something out of place to put back into place or clean it up. She has always been finished before the song was over.
I might need to add that for the first two days, we took the afternoons to organize and clean the whole room together. It’s easier to maintain a clean room, when everything has it’s place.
We do this for about two weeks now and I see that she is more balanced, happy and self-confident.
Thank you for bringing up this topic and inspiring thoughts about how to deal with it.
Love, Nadia
