GET YOUR SPOUSE ON BOARD

If your partner isn’t already in the habit of picking up after himself/herself I suggest starting with them first. You need to be on the same page before tackling the kids. Find a time to talk and tell them how you feel-don’t make it a power struggle or a nagging session. Explain that picking up after them cause you stress and makes you feel resentful.

if you don’t get any headway with your spouse consider hiring help. Get rid of your cable TV, go out to eat less, make a sacrifice to work it into your budget. Your spouse may see how important it is to you and make more of an effort once the bank account is involved.

FAMILY MEETING

Once you’ve got your spouse on board have a family meeting with your children. Re-establish family rules-I suggest giving them one warning to pick up their things and after that, they lose the item for an amount of time.

Every time you clean up after them instead of requiring them to do it themselves you are showing them it isn’t their responsibility to help with the cleaning.

START EARLY WITH AGE APPROPRIATE TASKS

When tidying with younger children it helps to be specific. Very young kids can’t look at a big messy room and see the steps they need to take to get it clean-it’s overwhelming. Give specific directions. Instead of saying “clean the mess” tell them to pick up all the stuffed animals, or clear the toys off the couch.

MAKE CLEAN UP FUN

Especially with younger children, making clean up fun is important. Children love when parents give them time challenges to clean a room-it makes it a game to race to finish the job!

BE THE EXAMPLE

Model good habits and expect the family to follow. Clean up after yourself and hold others to the same standard. Keep a daily cleaning schedule to keep everyone on track.

It’s a good idea to have a family clean up time-a quick 15 minutes tidy up after dinner can go lightyears towards keeping your home clean.

MAKE IT A PROCESS

Don’t expect change to happen overnight, it will be a process. Have weekly meetings to check in on the rules, be consistent, and keep your expectations high (with a good dose of grace!) Over time your family can learn to work together to maintain a happy, tidy home.
