[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think meal times are natural breaks - lunch, then dinner. And then of course cleaning up whatever they got out in the time after dinner before bedtime This means that all morning the pillows can be there, but then get cleaned up. You are right, when everything is out by the end of the day, there is too much to clean up and it's overwhelming. cleaning the morning play before lunch, then the afternoon play before dinner, seems to make more sense and means there is less to clean up. with a 4 year old, you also need to help organize their cleaning and thinking - ok, in 5 minutes it's time to clean up, so finish up what you are doing. Ok, it's now time to clean up before lunch, what do you awnt to put away first, the pillows or the toys in the bin? Or.... all these go in this bin - you put away the red ones and I'll do the green ones, let's race! Etc. [/quote]
