As an elder brother, I believe it is my obligation to educate my younger ones the value of keeping a tidy environment. I begin by setting a good example for my younger ones , who frequently replicate what they see. When I establish a habit of cleaning up after myself, properly disposing of rubbish, and organising our home, I send a strong message about the importance of cleanliness.
I also involve kids in domestic chores, making sweeping, dusting, and organising their toys enjoyable and interesting activities. I explain why we clean and how it keeps germs away while also making our house more comfortable.
Another strategy I employ is storytelling, which involves delivering basic stories about the benefits of cleanliness and the drawbacks of living in a dirty environment.
It is also important to recognise and reward their efforts. I praise them when they clean up or pick up litter to encourage them to continue the behaviour. I also teach children to care for the environment outside our home by doing things like planting flowers or cleaning up the garden together.
These small lessons steadily increase their comprehension and responsibility. By instilling these behaviours in children early on, I am convinced that they will grow into individuals who respect and contribute to keeping their surroundings clean and healthy.
