How did you mommies get your kids to want to clean their rooms it takes me telling her i will not let her go to grandmas house if she dont clean and my son follows and does everything she does so if she plays he plays if she crys he crys idk what else i can do i have tried bribing her with snacks and candy and toys but nothing is working
@mom4717123, it’ll always be a battle, but I say..if you don’t succeed try try again. Sometimes I’d tell them “mommy will start and we’ll finish together” which I felt stopped the overwhelm of toys to clean in their little eyes. Then each time clean a little less leaving a little more for them to help with.
You could do a trade off, ask the 5 year old what she/he’d like to clean instead of their room. Fold towels? Tidy shoes? Pick up laundry? At least it starts the whole cleaning expectation.
Help them. Make it fun. I always helped. If I demanded it, it was a fight. Embrace the strong will and show them it’s quicker as a team
