Children don't like picking up after themselves. Playing is fun. Cleaning isn't.
|
Remember, it's parents who got their kids used to being cleaned up after! You wiped their faces and cleaned their diapers. It's parents then who have to figure out how to convey the message, "Those times are past. Now go clean up your room."
My book about picking up after yourself, How Cocoona Learned to Clean Even Better Than Her Parents, is a form of bibliotherapy. Bibliotherapy is the use of children's books to address problem behaviors.
Cocoona is the story of a little girl who just can't be bothered to clean up her room...or anything else. Nothing that Mom or Dad says or does helps in the slightest. That is, until Mom and Dad decide to become slobs too. Cocoona can't handle the chaos that results! She learns what it's like to have to live with someone else's mess.
Cocoona's story is fun with a message, but I've done something else to make sure that message really hits home.
This children's book about a messy child has no pictures because it's meant for your child to illustrate. Why?
So that every time your child adds an illustration to the book, the book's message is reinforced. Repetition is key to learning.
(Read what parents have to say about the book.)
The book is in PDF form (though if you prefer you can open a regular webpage and copy the text into a word processing program). You simply print it out on separate pages for reading and illustrating.
As with all my Children's Behavior Books, the price for How Cocoona Learned to Clean Even Better Than Her Parents is only $3 US. At that price, how can you lose?
I'm also going to throw in a second behavior book - FREE - about picky eating. Because what family doesn't have a picky eater!
Do we have a deal? (No, I want to read an excerpt of the Clean Up Your Room book first.)
