One of the most challenging but rewarding responsibilities parents have is teaching values to their children. And among all values, one that can sometimes be overlooked is the value of cleanliness. Sure, other values like love, charity, humility, patience and kindness are important, but without teaching cleanliness, the child’s whole value system won’t be complete. 

Kids are important to us, their welfare too! So by reading Honing In on Home-Cleaning now will give you tips and advice!

The Importance of Cleanliness

Being clean is important. It plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Aside from personal health benefits, cleanliness also promotes safety in the home, in the workplace and in the general physical environment.

When you’re not clean, you become more vulnerable to certain diseases. Of course, when you get sick, especially if it’s a serious diseases, there’s always a huge price to pay (literally and figuratively).

It Starts in the Home

Since the family is the most basic unit of society, what’s taught in the home will definitely have an impact on how each member of the family, especially the children, behaves and deals with the outside world. If good values are taught in every home, you’ll have a better society.

This is why it is important that at an early age, you have to start teaching your children the value of cleanliness. It’s like the input-output process of a computer. What you inculcate to your children is usually also what they demonstrate in terms of what they say and do. Bad values in, bad values out. Good values in, good values out. If you start them young, what they learn at an early age is generally more imbibed and carried over until they grow up.

Clean Bill of Health

Again, having good personal hygiene promotes health and wellness. Teach your children simple but important things like washing their hands before and after they eat, brushing their teeth at least three times a day, taking a regular bath, and even cleaning their stuff.

Clean Up Their Act

As you teach cleanliness, you also teach good behavior. Tell them that if they’re clean, they are not just taking good care of themselves, they also positively impact others in the process.

Be sure also to teach them to always clean up after themselves whenever possible. Tell them to pick up their own litter and throw it in the bin. Better yet, tell them not to leave any trash anywhere when they play, eat or do their hobbies.

They also have to be taught how to clean their own room. Of course, they won’t be able to do that task perfectly. But the value of that is that when they start realizing how hard it can be to clean, they would also try to avoid not to make their room messy.

Teach them how to make their bed and how to put away their toys, books and their clothes and shoes. Provide them with shoe organizer for under bed storage and storage bags for clothes so that they can quickly and easily store their stuff.

Make teaching your children the value of cleanliness a top item on your priority list. This will not only be rewarding to you as a parent, but will definitely be beneficial to your child both in the short and long terms.
