Do you have your toddlers (12 months and up) clean up?

my stepson learned early to clean up his stuff, i'm not sure how old he was when his mom first started him tidying, but i figure if you start good habits young, the better off they will be. We still have to tell him to clean up even though he's near 4 now, but he also knows what happens to his toys if he doenst clean up. (they get taken away) and he also knows (even though he plays dumb sometimes) where all the toys go. If he is doing a good job and cleaning instead of playing then we tend to help him so he doens't get discouraged. (he makes huge messes) lol.

I am not sure the exact age I just have always encouraged my kids to pick up after themselves...with my 2 yr.old I would have to say around 18 months ...she likes to ..we make a game of it and she still does it now ...thank goodness..LOL

DS is 13 months. He's not really capable of understanding how to clean up yet. We do pick up after he's done playing or when he makes too much of a mess with his toys. So he does know how things should look, and can find things after they've been put away because they are where they belong. He's starting to put things into his toy bins on his own, but usually ends up just dumping them out later. It's still a play thing, not a chore. As he gets older and more capable, we'll have him clean up as best he can.

We learned with my stepchildren that you can't just start it when they're older. Their mom never made them do it themselves, and they still don't understand how to do it very well. And they're 12 and 15!

My daughter is 14 months and I don't think she understands yet most of what I'm saying or how to even clean up. I wouldn't start making her until I knew she could understand and could talk somewhat herself.
