I make my daughter (who will be 4 at the end of March...) help me clean the house. Of course I have her clean her own messes, but I have her help me with other things such as taking things upstairs or picking up trash or putting dirty dishes in the sink. I am just curious on how many others actually have their preschooler clean and if so, does your child like doing it? (My daughter loves to help!)
Answer QuestionI began having my kids to help as soon as they could walk. You start small by having them help pick up toys. By 4 my kids all cleaned their rooms, sorted their laundry on wash day, helped fold towels and matching socks. My GS is 9 in 2 weeks. She can make ramen with supervision. She just mastered the can opener. She and her 7 yr old brother bring trashcans in from the curb(on wheels). They take recycling from the kitchen to the garage. She restocks cups in bathrooms every Sunday. He makes sure there is extra TP in both bathrooms. They both love to help put the silverware away. She is learning how to put the pans away, the both help bring groceries in. We are a family everybody helps. I've known too many people who waited on thier kids hand and foot with no responsibilities. They turned out to be mouthy, disrespectful, lazy people.
