What needs to be done for the child to put the toys back in place, fill up his crib, take candy wrappers to the trash? Parents become angry and consider the venture a pointless waste of time. There are ways to help educate helpers.
It is necessary to instill a love of order from an early age. It is not easy to develop discipline during adolescence. Many mothers and child psychologists share effective secrets. The methods are used in practice.
Authoritative example
Any method in raising children begins with the words "Start with yourself and be an example."
It seems that all the forces were thrown in vain and the child simply does not adopt parental "good habits", there is no need to get upset. This has developed over the years. To their joyful surprise, as they grow older, they will perform duties without commission or instruction. And on days of joint general cleaning, running after mom, the child will ask about additional work for him. He wants to be like his parents.
Motivation
Children of all ages want the qualities of good heroes. Explain the importance of being responsible and diligent. In the future, it's good to be a master of what you love. Examples should be given: the fairy tale "Cinderella" for little girls, the favorite cartoon "Fixies" for boys.
And music will help to cheer up the child during cleaning.
Tasks according to the child's abilities
It is better to share all responsibilities around the house among family members in order to avoid the resentment of the child. For example, if adults used to put shoes on the shelves, then why today they demand this from the baby.
Children should be given work to their strengths. First of all, safe. Vacuum cleaner and the like - only under your control.
Let him do his work more often without your every minute instructions in order to work out the habit and tactics of execution in the future. You can gradually complicate the tasks. Let everything be in stages.
Without a stick and with a carrot
If a child does his job badly from time to time, there is no need to shout and criticize, and even in the presence of the child, do not redo his work.
Washes dishes poorly? Perhaps he is afraid to break and "get" the punishment that must be excluded from the plan. Labor should ennoble, not arouse fear and contempt.
Praise is the best "carrot" for the work done.
From the experience of my childhood, it remains only to remember with a smile about the "lost" spoons in secluded places.
A radical method. Caution!
They start it extremely rarely, but mothers claim that the method is effective.
The toy store is not only brand new fun, but also a collection of car parts and dolls 'organs'. Children part with them reluctantly, in the hope that the spare parts will come in handy or the toy really liked it before.
And no persuasion or manipulation helps - everything is lying around in the same places.
How did the famous Madonna do? I threw my daughter's toys in the trash can.
This, of course, is too much, you can run into an hour-long tantrum. But it's worth trying this method and explaining that space should be made available for new toys. Over time, the child himself will get rid of unnecessary things.
Do not overwork both yourself and the child. During cleaning, you can allow yourself and your baby to relax while watching your favorite cartoon. If you have a favorite hobby, then you should allow half an hour to devote to your favorite business to unload.
Putting all your strength and soul into children is a parental calling.
