Teaching Children the Importance of Cleaning, with a Little Help from ABClean

LONDON - April 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Engaging children in household cleaning and tidying doesn't have to mean more work for you but more time to spend doing fun, educational things with the people you love! What could be better?

We all know housework is a necessity and there is very little we can do to avoid it, you may find it a little bit more fun when you turn it into a family activity:

Use small sized or toy equipment

Get your little ones involved with the weekly chores, use smaller toy sized versions of dustpans and brushes, vacuums and a even their own duster. At this early stage it is important to teach your children the importance of looking after belongings, your home and themselves.
Teach them why they need to wash their hands
Personal hygiene is a big lesson for all children and something that will stand them in good stead forever, we teach them to clean their teeth and wash their hands from a very young age and it is important for them to understand why. This is much the same for looking after the home. Let them know why we rid the kitchen area of germs and bacteria, and the importance of cleaning carpets regularly of those nasty bugs that live in them.
Make flip book to do lists to give clear goals in a fun medium
Create fun systems (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-stiffelman/kids-and-c...) to get everybody involved. Make job lists on post-it pads and every time a chore is completed they can stack up there own pile. This not only helps you get things done but gives them a huge sense of achievement while learning how to respect where they live.
Don’t ‘Just do it yourself’
When teaching children practical skills it is tempting to ‘just do it yourself’, but don’t! These lessons are so important for children (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/stop-the-cycle/201207...) to learn and really a little hard work now will save you so much time in the future when you are dragging a teenager from a bedroom so YOU can clean it!
