Children's room chaos? This makes tidying up a fun and playful experience!

Cleaning up can be fun for kids! This explains the tidying coach Mona Nachbaur, who works to ensure that children are motivated with the right approach to tidying up. Many children are overwhelmed by the number of toys and often don't know how to deal with them. “Less is more” is their motto. Nachbaur recommends sorting out toys in a targeted manner and using the toy rotation method, in which only some of the toys stay in the room and the rest are stored thematically in boxes. This keeps things tidy and children are happy about new toys when the boxes are changed, reports VOL.AT.

The key to successful organization lies in visualization. A clear structure with boxes for different types of play – one for Barbies, one for cars, for example – helps children put things in their place. Nachbaur also suggests making tidying fun, for example by playing a favorite song while tidying up and introducing small rewards in the form of stickers. This system promotes children's motivation and makes tidying up a positive experience as they can experience immediate success.

Motivation and role models

Nachbaur also emphasizes the importance of role models in family life. Parents should organize things themselves and set simple, achievable rules to actively involve the children. This intervention not only supports a relaxed atmosphere in the child's room, but also promotes participation in family life. The tidying coach from Neunkirchen-Seelscheid points out that children quickly understand the positive effects on family life through tidying up and better organization. Motivation is key, and with creative approaches and a clear plan, tidying up becomes an easy and enjoyable task for children, like Dear neat reported.
