Children's stores are now able to satisfy even the most fastidious crumb. They have toys for every taste and budget. Even an adult is sometimes interested in walking between shelves with dolls, cars, bears.… It's very expensive to see! And it's quite another thing when all these toys are scattered around the house, and the parents have to clean up.
How to teach a child not to throw his toys around? No way. After all, a child cannot and should not do without games. During the game, the child learns about the world around him, learns to think and fantasize. And games can be noisy and active, and toys after them can be scattered all over the room, or even throughout the house. It is not necessary to forbid a child to play. It is better to teach him to collect toys for himself.
The easiest way to teach a child to be clean is by example. In the eyes of a child, parents are the ideal that he should strive for. If mom and dad always leave order behind, then the child will understand from childhood that everything should be in its place. To begin with, you can collect toys together with the baby, eventually giving its role in this process more and more space. Cleaning will become a habit for the baby, removing toys after himself will become an integral part of the game.
Do not forget to praise the baby for the removed toys and in no case scold him if he does something "wrong" - this can discourage the child from doing household chores for a long time, because why do something if the mother is upset anyway and will swear? It is better to explain to the child what to put and where, parents should be precise and consistent in their instructions, otherwise the child will get confused.
There are several small tricks that will help teach the baby to order. The toy box can be decorated, and cleaning can be accompanied by a fairy tale "Here is a doll Masha rode on her faithful horse to the box house" and so on. This will make the cleaning process more exciting for the baby. You can enter a competitive moment. For example, give your child a task to clean up the room faster than any song ends, or collect all the toys before the mother makes the bed. You can temporarily remove the main part of the toys, leaving only a few of them for the child. Then the toys can be changed, and the old ones can be removed – so the child will always have something new, and there will be less garbage in the room.
Remember that it is the baby's responsibility to put away toys, and mom and dad should only help him with this. Prova Smarkets och njut av spänningen.
