How to Get your Kids to be More Clean and Organized: 7 Hacks

February 16, by Shellie Wilson. Leave a Comment

Getting your kids to clean their room and learn how to organize their things can be a never ending struggle sometimes, and if you’re a parent who can relate, here’s some help your way. Keep reading to discover 7 of the most powerful hacks that work and help you do just that and more!

Make Cleanup Fun

Easier said than done right? Try to find ways to make cleanup and organization less of an order and more of an interesting task. You can offer a little something- your kid’s favorite sandwich or an hour of his favorite show on TV to get things done. Another great idea is to make cleaning a game- just a way to keep things interesting.

Reset the Rules

Do something for 21 days and it easily becomes a habit, and that’s exactly why setting some ground rules about cleaning and organizing for your kids can help. Start with the small stuff- like having your kids put away the toys or whatever they were playing with, after they are done, and then take it from there.

Start Small

Remember that children are growing, and are not perfect at everything. It may take them time to master organization and they may not be able to have their room spic and span, but make sure they try, and when they do, appreciate their effort. Take baby steps and start with small organization and cleaning goals for your kids.

Start Early

Yes- any habit that starts early, tends to stick for a long time. Don’t wait until your kids are teens to get them to start cleaning- give them age-appropriate tasks to do whenever needed, and slowly but steadily, it will all become a part of their routine.

Label the Toys

Another effective way to teach your kids to be more organized is to have them mentally (or even actually) label their toys or belongings into order of priority and requirement, separate those and have them handy, and have the rest neatly arranged in a cupboard or on a shelf. Doing this will prevent things from being all over the place, and your kids will also understand how to sort things better.

Be Firm

As parents, one of the most difficult tasks still remains learning the balance of being firm and gentle at the same time with your kid- once you ace that, you’ll be able to foster a beautiful relationship with your kid as well as make him disciplined.

Keep it Smart

A lot of kids might resist the idea of cleaning and organizing and may not take it seriously- that’s when you’ve got to play smart as a parent. Instead of ordering your kid to clean his room, ask him to ‘help’ you do it and get them more involved- make them a part of the process and you’ll see how wonderfully that works.
