Happy Monday! We are already half-way through March. Geesh…..where did the time go?!
Anywho, this month I started out talking about spring cleaning with your self-care. Well, this week, I am going to be focusing on Spring Cleaning: Kid Edition.
So here are three tips on how to spring clean concerning your kids.
1: Create Some Daily Confessions
-It’s so imperative to start your kids early on speaking over themselves. If they can build this muscle as a child, then as they grow up into an adult, they would be a beast in knowing who they are and whose they are. Like I said the other week, you have what you say. Especially growing up in this day of age, there’s a lot that kids deal with, so let’s start them on speaking over themselves daily, gaining their self-confidence, saying who they are, and whose they are, and what they can achieve.
2: Out with the old, in the with the new
-Has it been a while since you’ve updated your kids’ wardrobe? Don’t fret! You can do that now. Don’t be a hoarder, get rid of the unnecessary items in their closet they no longer need and/or fit. Now, I understand there are certain items you would like to keep for keepsakes, but not everything is a keepsake! LOL –The same goes with their toys. If they have not played with it in a while, then it may be that time to give it away or get rid of it.
3: Spring Activities
-Easter is coming up, so now is the perfect time to plan any Easter festivities for your little ones. Whether it’s learning about Jesus, painting Easter eggs, coloring Easter pages, putting Easter baskets together, or going for an Easter egg hunt, you can make it fun, enjoyable, and safe for your little ones during this holiday.
-Extracurricular Activities/Outside Time: Some more activities you can be doing during this time to get them out of the house and moving and keeping them safe in this pandemic, is to take them to a beach, a pool, kid museum, theme park, splash park, the list goes on and on and on. But whatever you decide to do, let it be something that swithches up the change of scenery for them.
I hope these have been helpful!
