At what age do I start?
In the second year of life the baby is already well developed and understands much more than you could imagine. Energia is more than enough, the first steps have been successfully made and the schooly hands get to the most forbidden in two counts. Baskets for toys are successfully turned out, all scattered, torn and pulled out. It's time to show that you can always return to the field successfully.
Mums and dads easier to clean up the minutes themselves, distracting the child, except for time you will not win anything. It is not necessary in one day to start learning all the rules, but by developing the ritual of going to sleep, add to it a collection of toys. Before supper and bathing, say that it's time to collect everything that the kid was playing, because the night is coming, but while the stars are shining behind the window, everyone is asleep, including toys.
Help the crumb, ask him to bring you cubes and in turn throw them into the box. Everything is done in the game form, but every day and every time more and more toys trust to remove the baby.
It is almost impossible to change a diaper. Children break out and flee with all their might, just to prevent my mother from molesting me. Having changed the crumb, give him the used diapers and take it out in the trash bin together. Do not forget to praise the small hard worker. Only a few days of such help and the kid himself will be stamping out throwing dirty diapers.
You can teach the little ones to scatter candy wrappers from sweets and rind of fruit. Just make sure that the TV remote control or the mobile phone does not go to the urn for the company.
Babies like watching the washing machine and vacuuming. Some children are of course afraid of them, but this is only an additional reason for a closer acquaintance with the technique. Together, load the machine with things, try to clean it together with a scraping. First, in the form of a game, roll the child on a rocket-vacuum cleaner, and when he gets used to the buzz, let's try to vacuum the carpet yourself and wash the floor.
The little ones adore each and every one of them, so select one neat little assistant and let them moisten the water while you wipe the dust off the shelves.
Little tricks
The main thing in this is to develop a habit. Do not load the child with various responsibilities in the home and should not strive for the ideal order.
Of course, the most important helper in schooling is your own example. If you love squeaking from the cleanliness of the floor, the perfect order in the closet and every thing has a specific place, then the child will surely take over your lifestyle. But it can be otherwise, so do not overdo it, because not everyone is vitally important that the vase is 5 cm to the right of its habitual place.
Be sure to give the child his personal place. For example, a box with clothes and a box for personal belongings. Let it be as it should be to its owner. On the one hand, he will soon understand that when the order is around, and he has one heap, then it is inconvenient first of all. Teach your child to follow the discipline and he will begin to take care of the surrounding life.
Never punish children. It's a duty, not a punishment.
Agree that once I wear a son or daughter in charge of cleaning. This is if the children are older, of course.
Present it as help, but the older the child becomes, the better he must understand that he needs the order himself.
Some families practice a fee for helping clean up the house. On the one hand it can be effective, but still try to motivate the child differently. Suggest, after cleaning, to watch an additional cartoon or allow a longer walk, but not for cleaning, so if you do your homework together, you will both be released as quickly as possible.
If you do not particularly care about the ideal order in the house, then do not ask for a child that is not inherent in your family. Just help him clean up the apartment faster and easier.
Buy boxes and boxes for small things. For small children, different toys baskets are sold. In the form of a star, cartoon characters and fairy tales. Choose what the child likes, and not just you, because favorite and beautiful things add up with the pleasure (even if only for the first time).
Make for the student a small trash can or box directly in his room. After all, in the process of modeling or molding, during the performance of the homework, often pieces of paper are accumulated and so on, and there is no desire to take all this into the kitchen. It remains only to explain that such a bonus will remain only if the cow does not fill with a mountain and be carried out in time.
Explain clearly that the cleaning is done not for the appearance, that it is important to wipe not only those places on which the dust is visible, but also under the carpets, and on the cabinets. After a wet cleaning and breathing immediately easier. Initially, do not litter the room with carpets, bulky soft toys, various statuettes. If a child collects a collection of, say, porcelain dolls or figurines of elephants or hedgehogs, then most likely he will take care of her with pleasure. But for your trees happiness, candles and you watch better yourself. Over time, you teach the child to keep your room clean and clean up there yourself.
In the bathroom, joint cleaning is not arranged more often than once a week. And of course, keep in mind that girls spend much more time in the kitchen observing their mother, so it's enough to teach the boys to wash their dishes and wipe the table.
Not everyone will approach rigid mode, but the daily routine makes life easier, and not vice versa. From the very youngest age, brush along with the baby teeth, wash, dress, do the charge. Rest at lunch, and after a walk, clean up the apartment. Leave the time for games, but it's better to take up leisure time of the child, then he will learn how to do it, but he will not feel tired. A homework will be done between affairs, as something self-evident.
It is not easy for us to be educated at times. We often regret about lost time, that we did not notice before, etc. But we want to tell you that as soon as you start to do everything together, it should become a little easier. Children are always ready to help mothers (we will miss the difficulties of adolescence). We often do not want to fulfill the responsibilities of our duties, but without them we are nowhere, and in our power to help our children treat them calmly.
