Kids love any element of gaming, play and especially competition – unless it involves a ball and 22 men chasing it. In this case, they don’t care about competition. They want to win.
Anyway, I digress. Just in case you’ve never heard of the Japanese 30-second folding technique (it works!), here’s a very short, but excellent video demonstrating the technique.
First, share the video with them, just in case they haven’t already come across it on YouTube or one of the myriads of lifestyle TV channels.
Next, challenge your tweens to a race, and you’ll be amazed at how they will suddenly be motivated to help fold laundry!
Finally, sit back and momentarily enjoy a small victory, while you work out how to get them to do the rest of the their clothes.
Hi! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
