Establish routines early on to instill a sense of responsibility and structure in your child's life, starting from ages 2-3 with simple tasks like putting away toys after playtime.

I agree with this tip - establishing routines at a young age helps children develop important life skills such as responsibility and time management! For example, having a designated spot for toys and books can help kids learn to put things back where they belong, which sets them up for success in older age when they have more complex tasks to manage.

This tip also teaches children self-initiative and problem-solving skills, as they learn to put away toys and books on their own while still being under close supervision. As kids get older, this skill can translate to more complex tasks like homework or preparing for exams, where they need to be able to prioritize and manage their time effectively.

'I personally didn't think it mattered how old my kids were, as long as they put away toys and books after playtime, but learning to put them away independently also teaches them a sense of responsibility.'

 

[joyful]

I agree! Teaching kids to clean up after themselves starts with setting clear expectations and providing positive reinforcement for their efforts. It's not about having perfect habits, but rather developing a sense of responsibility and self-motivation. What tips do you have for encouraging independence in cleaning up at different ages? I've found that making it a part of their daily routine helps stick to it more easily!
