AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My children are home all day due to vacations, staff is also less and sometimes zero. Then they will make a mess, want to do painting and play with clay and I know I should let them do all this but later it gets so hard on me and when I ask then to help they will never help in clean up so all day I am irritated and tired. Why I have so much dependency on staff?

Dependency on staff is fine but it is better to explain and train the children to help clean up after they have played.

It is also helpful to allocate a fixed space or room for them for playing.

If feasible then they can be made to attend camps where they can learn the things in a methodical manner. 

Affectionately

Alok da.
