An activity using music as a motivator for children to do chores

“Cleaning to the Beat” is an activity from the book, Children and Stress, by Marti Loy.

The activities found in Children and Stress use a format that includes a title, purpose statement, objectives, timeline, activity description, step-by-step instructions, and discussion questions. The activities help children learn:

• What stress is and how to gain a sense of control over it.
• What coping strategies work now and in the future in managing stress. • How to change perspectives, regroup, and regain control during periods of stress.
• How to engage in relaxation activities that regain focus, calm emotions, and manage anxieties.
• How children, parents, and all family members can work together to create a calm and healthy home environment.
