Getting My 4 Year Old to Help
i have a 4 year old daughter who LOVES to color and be creative with paper, scissors, paint, etc. however, she leaves a HUGE mess to pick up. i have tried a couple of approaches in getting her to help, such as just flat out asking/telling her to do it, givng her the consequence of a time out if she doesnt, and so on. this has happened with her barbies also, and we just flat out took them away from her after a while of not picking up. shes always comming up with an excuse as to why she cant do it. and, i dont feel i should do it for her...
