Teaching Kids to Clean, with Joy Williams

Spring is in the air, and it's time to open the windows, grab the cleaning supplies and get 'er done--with the help of our guest Joy Williams. Joy has developed a whole series of step-by-step guides to help kids (and adults) learn how to clean every room in the house. I've been meaning to try them for years, and this is finally our year. This will be our main family experiment for April and I'm excited to kick it off with this episode. We'll talk about why it's important for kids to help around the house, how to teach them to do so, and of course we'll have some experiments for you to try.   Other episodes about teaching kids to clean:  Lab: Teaching Kids to "Notice and Do" with Sam Kelly How Maria Kemp Teaches Her Kids to Work--On a Ranch How Emily Teaches Kids to Work How She Motivates Kids to Work How To Teach Kids to Be Tidy How To Teach Kids to Clean Workshop: How She Shares Family Work: Part 1 Workshop: How She Shares Family Work: Part 2   Weekly Open Lab: Wednesdays at 10 am MT (through April 30 2025, then resuming in September)  Join Whitney in her virtual studio to share ideas, solve problems, craft experiments, chat about past and future episodes, discuss this quarter's book, or just drop in to say hi!  https://riverside.fm/studio/listener-ideas?t=880793c622433a15fcce
