Take Time for Training

I applied a few Take Time for Training strategies today during “room cleaning” day. In the past my procedure was as follows: “Go clean your room” the children would stay in their rooms for hours (why isn’t it clean???) and eventually I, or someone else, would clean it.

Today I decided to have a “clean room workshop.” (We have a 6-year-old, 5-year old, 3-year-old, and a 2-year-old.) I started with a “make your bed” tutorial for the 6-year-old. The 3 and 5-year-old watched and immediately rushed to make their own beds. They were so proud of themselves!
