As a mom of little ones, I like to think of age-appropriate ways to include my children in household chores. It’s helpful to me – but it also teaches my kids all kinds of great things!
When I am feeling overwhelmed by the mess around me, we all get movin’ – together! This a quick cleanup session just before nap time and then again in the evening before our bedtime routine begins.
As they’re cleaning up, encourage them with lots of “Keep going!” – “You can do it!” – “You’re almost to 10!” – “Yay, you get another one!” – You get the idea.
