"The One Minute Rule": How to Teach Your Child to Clean His Room
Not all children demonstrate a desire for cleanliness and order in their room.
Toys, books, notebooks, wires from various devices, and candy wrappers are often scattered around the room.
Many parents cannot get their child to clean up the mess in the nursery.
Some moms and dads clean their baby's room themselves. As a result, the child relaxes, because the parents do the work for him.
It is not worth allowing such a development of events. The child still needs to be taught to be clean. But this should be done gradually and without arguments, otherwise quarrels and resentments cannot be avoided.
"The One Minute Rule"
It is understandable why a child does not want to clean his room: it is too long, complicated and boring a process.
Therefore, it is advisable to start with the simplest actions, while interesting the curious child.
Tell your child the following: "Let's see how much you can do in one minute! And then we'll clean up the room."
In 60 seconds, an interested child can do a lot. For example, put all the books back in their place or remove all the candy wrappers.
Then gradually increase the amount of time your child should spend cleaning the nursery.
Sooner or later the moment will come when the child will clean the room on his own, without the help of mom and dad.
If the boy or girl refuses, challenge them. Say, "I bet you can't clean your room in five minutes?!"
Such a statement from parents will certainly excite the child. A reward in such a situation will not be superfluous.
