My duaghetr will be nine this Septemebr. She ia very active and an intelligent child. She does well in her studies. But she is very untidy. She is a bit lazy to clean herself. She is careless about her things too. Everyday I have to buy erasers, pencils etc. because she will loose them in the school. Me and my husband want to correct it. We want to make her a careful about her things. We always advice her. But last night I screamed at her and my husband ounshed her by asking her to kneel down. She took it very badly. And now I am feeling losy about it. What would you do in a situation like this?

ITs very difficult to deal with this things. YOu really take care of her cleanliness. If she is quite lazy, you can make her active too. If she doensot like to make herself clean, you take her to the bathroom and take bath for her day. If you can make her bath every day, iam sure she will not be happy if she doesnot take bath for one day. SO in this this way she will learn to stay clean. About loosing pencils and eraser, i happend to me too and to all my borthers and sister when we were in Nursery,PP, till we reach class IV. SO when she grows little older she will learn to take care of her things. DO not worry.
