Disclosure: I am a P&G mom. As part of my affiliation with this group I receive products and special access to P&G events and opportunities. The opinions on this blog are my own.
I’m the Queen of the mess. Organized Chaos I call it. Yet, even through my own personal chaos, the mess my children make tend to drive me crazy. Something I’ve been trying to do is realize that sometimes being creative means a mess happens (story of my life!) and I need to let it – I just need them to have the understanding that they need to help with cleaning it up!
Not only have I been trying to concur that, but we’ve also been trying to step up our game as a family and share chores around the house. Being a self employed mama, with crazy hours, and the boys being between 2 homes constantly, things get left undone. We’ve started slow, but have been working up to everyone having their own chores. Q has just graduated to taking out the recycling, and H is going to be on floor sweeping duty. So he was extra excited to receive our new Swiffer Bundle!
With the help of Swiffer, parents can say “Yes to the Mess!” and embrace life’s little messes because they’re able to get a really thorough clean in minutes. The easy clean-up process allows children the opportunity to make a mess and explore a life rich in creativity.
It’s an incredible experience to see your child create something without any reservations; unfortunately, this is a rare sight for most. According to the second annual Swiffer Cleaning Index, the majority (70 per cent) of parents feel that letting kids make a mess helps encourage their creativity, however many (65 per cent) have said “no” to their kids’ request because of the mess it will make.
The belief that messes are a part of a child’s development is increasing with the generations. Seventy-five per cent of millennials think that letting kids make messes encourages their creativity- this is in comparison to the 62 per cent of Boomer parents.
A mess can be a great learning opportunity, in so many ways. Nearly all parents (97 per cent) agree that young children learn a lot from cleaning up a mess.
