Many parents think that teaching children to store toys is something they can expect and when the time comes, when they are older and are intended to do so, it is too late, or at least it costs much more to pick up their toys.
Therefore, neither parents should think that it is a task that they do not like to do, but that it is part of the game, and picking up toys is also a children's thing, just as toys are taken from their place to play, they are left where they are in place for the next time.
The sooner the child learns to be ordained, the less chance there will be to be re-taught, that this is more difficult. So from the beginning the child should know that everything has its own place. This can also be a game, for example, ask where you should store a package of spaghetti, in the bathroom closet, in the hall or in the pantry, or where to place a book, in the refrigerator, in the bathtub or on the bookshelf , and the same with their toys. Each time you respond correctly, show your joy and have it put in place, a kiss, a clap or a compliment will be enough motivation to do it without problems.
It is very important that when you tell him what to do with an explanation, he will not think that ordering things is a punishment, but something that the whole family should do, for example, tell him that the clothes should be in the closet to that does not spoil, or that all the toys stored on your site are company and whenever you look for them you will know where to find them.
If you have not saved any toys, do not quarrel and you do it, because not even the scolding will be effective, you will not perceive the message and create confusion. And if you keep them on your own initiative, even if they are not well placed, do not modify it so as not to create insecurity, but do not forget to praise their good behavior.
Teaching him to organize his things can be part of a story, the two together put their shoes and tell him that if they are put together, countless cartoons can be fun and motivating for our son or daughter to be ordered. Surely you also have some trick that has worked for you, do you share it with us?
