You’d be surprised at how much kids can do to help with cleaning, even at age two.

Really? How do we start?

One good way is to let them help you tidy up.  If your child likes to help, offer them cleaning tools, like dust rags and spray bottles, and get them started on cleanup.  Then you can move on to bigger tasks, like handwashing dishes and wiping down counters.
