EP 86 | Why Won’t My Toddler Clean Up? (A Simple Fix That Actually Works)

Teaching toddlers to clean can feel overwhelming — especially for stay-at-home moms and work-from-home moms already carrying the mental load of motherhood.

In this episode of the Faith for Anxious Moms Podcast, I’m sharing a simple, proven system from my 14 years as an early childhood educator to help toddlers learn how to clean up without power struggles, stress, or constant reminders.

You’ll learn how limiting toy choices, using picture-based organization, and giving toddlers one task at a time can dramatically reduce mess, lower stress, and help ease the workload, while teaching your kids a valuable tool.

This episode is for moms who:

• Feel anxious or overwhelmed by toy messes

• Want to teaching responsibility well

• Want practical parenting help that actually works

• Desire more peace and calm at home

This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about creating a peaceful environment, teaching responsibility in age-appropriate ways, and remembering that God meets us in the everyday moments of motherhood — even on the floor surrounded by toys.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to teach toddlers to clean step-by-step
  

• Why fewer toys help reduce stress and worry
  

• A simple organization system that toddlers understand
  

• Parenting help that brings peace to stay-at-home moms
