How to get kids to clean their rooms Tip 5
Having a hard time motivating kids to clean their rooms? Are there way too many toys in your home like mine? It was too late for me to get my kids to donate their toys. They didn't want to donate anything! So instead of constantly yelling at them to clean up, I told my kids that if they didn't clean up, The Underground Toy Society would come and rescue the toys they were not cleaning up. I'd walk over to a toy, pick it up and say, “Awe, poor toy! You're not being taken care of properly! You'll have to go to The Underground Toy Society for help!” Then, I'd put the toy back on the floor and walk away. If my kids still did not pick up their toys, the toys would quietly leave during the night. If the kids asked where the toys went, well, they went to find help at The Underground Toy Society.
After removing toys, it's up to you if you want to allow the toys to return if kids are cleaning up better, or if it's time to donate the toys. If the kids don't seem to remember which toys are missing, then it's time to donate. If they miss the toys, you might have to let them return once your kids start cleaning up better. If your house is like mine, there will be some toys that your kids won't even notice are missing because there are so many toys! So don't stress over it. If you donate the toys, your kids will soon realize that they'd better clean up before their toys leave to go to The Underground Toy Society for help!
The Underground Toy Society children's books can be a fun way to talk to your kids about keeping their rooms clean to keep their toys happy, as well as instilling a sense of giving to others who may be less fortunate.
