Is your kids room always messy?
And you've lost all hope of teaching them how to put it away?
Don't worry, it's the same for all parents!
What if we told you that there is a simple technique to teach them how to tidy their room?
What's more, this technique only takes 10 minutes flat?
That would surprise you, wouldn't it? Well, it's true!
Here is how to teach your children to tidy their room in 5 easy steps . Watch:
Warning: it is likely that what you will discover in your children's room will make you angry!
So get ready to keep calm using this relaxation technique;-)
No matter the state of the bed, the first thing to do is throw everything on the floor.
I know, it's weird.
But it is also an essential step to clean a room easily.
A well-made bed is easy to make.
And you immediately have the impression that the room is in order.
In addition, it gives the necessary courage to continue cleaning the room.
And no need to make a square bed for it to look tidy, huh!
Now pick up every piece of clothing, towel, and piece of fabric you find on the floor and put them on the bed.
"But I was just told to get everything out of bed. And now I have to put all the clean and dirty clothes back together?"
Yes, in summary, that's it!
For children, it is better to keep it simple:this or that, no more than 2 options!
Basically, on one side there are the clothes, and on the other there is everything else.
So pick up only one thing in the room:clothes.
At this point, don't waste time sorting the laundry. It would complicate things for nothing.
Just collect the laundry in one place.
The goal is to complete this task in less than 2 min and the whole job in 10 min.
Stay focused, take as many clothes as you can in your arms and then lay them on the bed.
If you have baskets, boxes, or bins at home, now is the time to get them out!
Indeed, all these containers will help you sort more easily.
After removing the clothes on the floor, you now have 2 new options:the stuff that should stay in the bedroom and everything else.
Go around the room to pick up everything you can with the help of a basket.
When the basket is full, put things away in their place or nearby.
Then put all the stuff that shouldn't stay in the room in a separate basket in front of the door.
We'll take care of that later. Why later?
Because if you do it now, it will prevent you from completely finishing the cleaning of the room.
Indeed, to finish the room on time, it is important to focus on only 1 objective at a time.
Repeat this technique moving around the room until there is nothing left on the floor except the stuff to put in the trash.
This is where a bin placed in the right place in the bedroom becomes really super useful.
Place the trash can in the middle of the room and throw all the trash you find in the room into it.
Of course, you will still have to vacuum afterwards.
But picking up whatever's left on the floor instantly feels clean.
The room is now officially 99% clean!
Here's another simple sort to do:the clothes in the pile are either dirty or clean.
Sort it out by inspecting each garment to make sure there are no stains, streaks or odors.
And for that, the good old olfactory test is really effective to know if a garment is clean or not!
If the clothes are clean, they go into the clean laundry pile that will be put away later.
If they're dirty, head to the pile of dirty clothes that will be put in the washing machine.
There you go, you've taught your kids how to tidy their room in 10 minutes flat :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
The room is now clean and tidy whereas a few minutes ago it was still a good mess!
Obviously, it works just as well for a girl's room, a boy's room or a teenager's room.
You can now watch a good series, because you deserve it!
Your children must choose between two simple and distinct options each time.
They not only learn how to tidy their room while having fun, but also how to clean it thoroughly.
Well, of course, to make it work, you have to be ready to make some sacrifices:drop the fine little details that only adults notice.
It is scientifically proven that children naturally prefer the mess. Yes, yes!
Remember that teaching your children how to tidy their room takes time.
On the first try, it is absolutely necessary that they have the feeling of having succeeded!
So don't aim for perfection otherwise you risk quickly discouraging them...
