Messy Kids: Understanding The Reason Behind The Mess

May 13, 2022 by jennifer 2 Comments

“I have a messy kid, and I am not a lover of mess myself! As you can imagine, this can result in some problems!

Before I had my daughter our house was organized, everything had a place, I never felt embarrassed about a messy house when visitors showed up unannounced and the list goes on! Sounds familiar?” – Teach Me Mommy

    I too have a sensory seeker, a messy child, a condiment kid who can walk through a room with no intent of damage and leave behind tipped over vases, a scattering of toys in his wake, and a streak of catsup on the wall.

    • Train them Young.
    • Straight from the start.
    • Children Learn via Modeling the Behaviors around them
    • Teach them to throw clothes in the hamper right from the start; to not let clothes lay on the floors, etc.
    • Place dishes in the sink, etc.
    • Re TOYS, etc:
    • In our house: 1 or 2 toys out depending on if the toys can go together in play.
    • All toys are picked up BEFORE another type of toy is played with and taken out.
    • All toys are picked up BEFORE eating dinner, etc.
    • Have consequences for not following rules, clean up, etc.
    • Say, your child will not do it!
    • Continue it.
    • Repetition. Repetition. Repetition.
    • Younger generation parents tend to give up to easily.
    • Invest the TIME and ENERGY into the Appropriate Behavior you want Learned.
    • Culture has to do with it to.
    • If you grow up with white carpets, take your shoes off upon entering the house, do not climb on furniture then you will generally teach that to others as well.
    • I have a friend who’s child climbed in the Fridge with shoes on.
    • She gave up attempting to reprimand him and tell him not to, said she tried everything and he does not listen.
    • I sternly told him and his sister to “Get Down and that is not appropriate, Do it again and they get a time out”.
    • They listened, Very Quickly. No whining was involved.
    • She was shocked.
    • Told her, “Mean What You Say, Give them only 02 chances and on the 3rd warning, they get reprimanded.”
    • Stick by your word and Do Not Give In.
    • It takes time to “Retrain” a child from Negative Learned Behavior.
    • Parents give up to easily; Do not want to hear the crying and the whining, so they give in and let their child Control them and the Household.
