Though play is a greater priority for children than keeping a clean home, it is possible to teach tidiness and organization to your children — even young children. This can make cleaning as fun as playing!
Sometimes, children simply have too many toys and need to let go of the old toys to make room for new ones, which can be difficult for some children.
Getting children to clean also brings up the issue of chores, allowances and what to do when children refuse to clean or simply never make headway.
Wow, it’s no wonder that both parents and children feel overwhelmed by all the mess and stress of getting children to clean up after themselves!
