In this video, owner of 莫莉女仆 of Central Anne Arundel County Donna Reilly appears on WBAL-TV-Baltimore to share tips on how to get the kids into cleaning chores.

它是如何做的

Use strategies to make cleaning fun and offer incentives. 这些包括:

• 音乐. Cleaning is always more fun with the right music. Help younger kids find something they will like, and consider letting older kids make the selection themselves.
• 篮球. For younger kids, make a game of basketball out of sorting laundry. Laundry baskets make wide, reachable "hoops" for shooting and slam dunking dirty clothes.
• 玩. Give younger kids intermittent, "play" rewards. After the laundry has been sorted, 例如, you could spray a wood floor to make a slippery surface for kids to slide on in their socks.
• 其标记. Download a chore chart and let younger children place stickers on the completed chores.
• 激励. As for motivation, many folks tie the completion of chores to a weekly allowance. Along those lines, consider using a point system. Assign each task a point value and various numbers of points to a reward. When points are accumulated, kids can redeem them for a prize or privilege, such as playing a video game. A points system can also teach kids how to save and the value of hard work.
