If you have children, I am sure you are always looking to find ways to get them to clean their bedrooms. I have the perfect game to start getting their bedroom clean. Because cleaning can be an overwhelming task, and kids have a short attention span it is best to make it as fun as possible and limit the time to about 10 to 15 minutes at a time. If you try to go any longer it will seem like more work then play. You don't want this to become a whining and crying session, as it will be harder to involve them the next time. I call this game, "Beat the Clock"! To play the game you will need a portable timer, two bags or two boxes. One bag or box is for broken toys or garbage that will be thrown out, and another for unbroken usable toys to give away. With enthusiasm tell your child you will be playing a game called "Beat the Clock"! Let them know that you will be setting the timer for a specified time (the time frame you think your child can handle) and as fast as they can find things they no longer use or like. The purpose is to pick up at least one item per minute. For example for 10 minutes you would want to encourage your child to find at least 10 items. If the timer is...more

Over the last few years I've come across countless situations were parents feel like they don't know how to deal with toddlers and preschoolers. Parents get stressed out because of the "bad behavior" and I've received plenty of emails from those who feel that they've failed at being a parent.If this describes you then I'd like to invite you to enter my world and learn more about how you can take advantage of language as a toolbox for change. Parenting toddlers and preschoolers can go back to being fun again. All you need is a willingness to learn, and an appreciation for new advice.Can you think back to when your baby was a newborn? It was probably stressful sometimes. It was a gigantic change to your normal life, and you didn't instantly know what to do if your baby started to cry. But I'm sure you got past that by learning how to identify the usual suspects. Most often your baby was either tired, had a dirty diaper, was hungry, or too hot/cold. You never asked your child what the problem was - you simply figured it out on your own.Later, when your baby was between 1 and 2 years old, your toddler learned to walk and even do some talking - even if they were just single words. Your...more
