THANK YOU for being the only video to pop up with an honest & tested method of how to actually get your children to clean their messes. I've been watching video after video of people talking about their rooms being their "safe place" , lead by example, using nice phrases and incentives and everything else under the sun. I've tried it all and NONE of it works. We need a simplified routine, and I see that now ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Thanks for watching. I learned a lot about getting kids to clean their rooms from watching my folks raise 19 kids. They were consistent in their methods and every one of us kids left home knowing how to clean, and with a work ethic that transcends household chores. Children also want to live in a clean space because it feels safe and less chaotic. 🤗
Yes, I love this so much! It starts as soon as they're old enough to bend down and pick an object up and drop it. Boom, there's an opportunity to make a game of posting the toys in the toybox before dinner! It's fun! I did it with them for probably about a year or so, until they were able to do it themselves. It flows from there... 3 years old they can pick up toys and their clothes. 4 years old, rubbish, 5 years, they can learn to pull a quilt onto their beds and arrange their pillow... by 6 years old they're tidying their entire bedroom, one step at a time, and dusting/wiping surfaces! It can take a few more years before they do it all in one step, by about 8-9 years old they can vacuum. If my youngest, 8yrs, with global developmental delays (4yrs in development), can do it (I still sit on his bed and talk him through the steps), any kid can ❤ I get him to do everything for himself, including showering and changing himself (home and school) and he is so confident and proud! 😊❤ this summer he just suddenly started swimming and in the last week he's suddenly started writing his name! (Shameless mummy brag) 😄❤❤
I have a child with adhd and oppositional defiant disorder. She is 10 years old. I seen the video and I truly feel I have tried those methods she don’t care. Any suggestions for kids with her dx
Hi. I am sure that parenting a child with ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder can be challenging, and it's clear that you're doing your best to support your child. ☺ It can take time to find the right approach that works. I'm not qualified to offer you any specific advice but I am sending heartfelt wishes 💙that with love, understanding, and persistence, you can make a positive difference in your child's life. I am so happy you took the time to watch. Please take care. 🤗
Angela, my adult sons still live with my husband and me. I am disgusted by their space. Things are financially rough to get out on your own. They both work and pay rent, utilities, and food. However, one lives in our upstairs bonus room. The other lives in our basement. What can I do with adult sons?
I'm already my sisters slave by choice. She is 13 and I'm 15. I do ALL of her chores and let her take all the credit so she gets paid for them. I clean up ALL of her messes. When she does something wrong, I take blame for it so she dont get in trouble. I do all of her homework so she can do what she wants to do! I never argue with her! When we are both home....I wait on her hand and foot....she never has to lift a finger!
If items on the cleaning checklist aren't completed during inspection, we typically address it through additional training or corrective measures to ensure everyone meets the checklist standards moving forward
Little sisters, (I know this from working 30 years in people's homes and watching sisters interact, and from being a little sister myself to two older sisters, and from being the big sister to 4 younger sisters) little sisters watch their older sisters interact with situations and people. And they look for clues. If the older sister hates cleaning, and whines while doing it, the younger sister will often do the same. If however the older sister races to clean the house, begs for the vacuum, takes dibs on washing the dishes - the younger sister will fight to "get a turn" at washing them as well. I'm going to make you a video on this to explain how it all works - but it is one of the best magic tricks ever. EXCELLENT QUESTION.
I taught my 4 sons as toddlers to clea and pick-up their mess. Plus, as they grew had a reward system that involved various charts, grab bags, treasure chest, etc.. WB#Sponcollagizer7
Take a peek at this playlist of similar videos we made on kids & family cleaning. More fabulous info.

Cathy, Have your two sons considered getting a place together?
I really enjoyed this video!!! Thank you!
I'm so glad you did! Thanks for dropping me a line. :-)

Wow! Does your sister show appreciation for all the stuff you do for her?
@@AskAngelaBrown yes she does! She is a great sister! Very kind and sweet!
When you inspect the checklist, what do you do if it’s not done? Consequence?

How do you teach your little sister to clean

EXCELLENT QUESTION.
Thank you!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I'm still not gonna clean my room. Parents already tried this. As a teenager's POV: it doesn't work on me, at least.
Yet here you are watching this. Why? 😍👏🤗
@@AskAngelaBrown I'm just messing with you fam😁
