Great news for us parents! On March 6th, HIT Entertainment and Lionsgate are bringing us a new Barney DVD entitled: Barney: Clean Up, Clean Up! As a parent and childcare provider, one of my main struggles is getting help with picking up! My house is such a mess with toys every day. To get the kids to help with pick up time, I have tried praise, motivation, and even threats. None of these tactics always work. The other day we received this new DVD and I popped it in for the daycare kids and they all had so much fun singing along with Barney and learning the importance of clean up time. Now when clean up time comes along, I remind them of Barney and we sing the fun "Clean Up" song together as we work. This DVD would make a great Easter Basket stuffer. It is also a great tool for parents having issues with clean up time, like me!
SYNOPSIS
Barney™ shows how to make cleaning fun; from painting the caboose, to washing windows, to putting away toys! See Riff™ learn new tricks when his litterbot leaves him in a heap of a mess.

ReplyDeleteI also try to make it fun for them!
ReplyDeleteI sing a song with my son and he and I dance while picking it up. I also show him where to put things and then I tell him how much of a big boy he is.

They have a chore chart. If they do their chores before dinner they are each rewarded with getting to choose one tv show to watch before bed.
