Plus, it will lend a helping hand to Mom and Dad too. Many children between the ages of five and eleven can and will enjoy helping Mom and Dad. Many little ones love to sweep, dust, and do the dishes. Of course, supervision is a good idea with a younger child. Believe me, this love of cleaning stops around the age of twelve, so enjoy it while you can.
Many young children enjoy folding the laundry.
It helps to make chores fun. You might try playing music while cleaning, and sometimes even singing while doing the dishes, dusting or folding the laundry. You can make almost any chore into a fun and memorable experience with your child. Grab the pooch and toss him in the tub. Or get the hose out and spray the kids while they clean the car in their swimsuits.
