Season 2 Episode #19: Proof It's Possible to Teach Kids How to Tidy From a Young Age

About this episode

Zazi and Tess discuss the importance of teaching children to tidy and share strategies to help them develop independence in cleaning.

Do as they say and not as they do - in this podcast Zazi and Tess openly discuss their domestic skills and why their upbringings may not have leaned into them becoming domestic goddesses. Despite this Zazi is determined to raise her children to be house proud and understand the importance of cleaning (respectfully of course). The duo highlight some of the reasons why some children (and adults) may struggle to tidy more than others and as always, give some helpful evidence based strategies to support children in developing their independence with tidying!
