Kids What Can Work

What am I doing? Sitting here typing, just writing about what can work and what works. Well one thing, Teaching your child to pick up after their self, What I did was get a Kitchen garbage can, Lined it with a clear bag used for recycling so you can see whats in it. I then told my son He could take his makers and draw on the outside of it, but in his drawings he had to write in big letters GARBAGE, OK done. I told him that what ever he levies laying around on the floor etc.. he must not care about so we will say it is garbage, If I have to clean it up it gets tossed in the garbage can that we made, So days went by and I was still picking up, books, cars, super power guys, games and even clothes well They got tossed in his garbage can, at the end of the week we pulled the bag out, He could see some of his favorite toys and clothes in the bag& fussed about it. I said well it wasn't god enough to pick up so its not good enough to keep. After that days he picks up after himself and it really worked, I'm so glad because he sure could be messy.
