As early as possible, you should teach your child to be tidy so that he can put away his toys and tidy up his room himself.

This must be done calmly and slowly.

At first, adults should take an active part together with the child. Without praise from parents, this is impossible.

You need to thank your child for helping around the house, and note his positive qualities (for example, hard work).

It is also worth noting that at first, cleaning should include elements of a game that the child should win. This could be a competition with mom or dad about who will pick up toys faster, clear the table or wipe the dust.

To make the process more interesting for the baby, you can offer him a reward. This could be an additional episode of his favorite cartoon or a new bedtime story, a few coins in the piggy bank. You shouldn't choose sweets as a reward.

It would be a good idea to make a schedule of which days the mandatory cleaning of the room should be carried out.

You can split the process into parts. So that on Tuesday the children dust their rooms, and on Thursday they put things away in the closet.
