Book excerpt: Do you spend the majority of your time as a parent picking up after your children? What if I told you that doesn't have to be the case? What if I told you that no matter your child's age, they can begin practicing effective tidying habits very early on? Everything a child does is a learned skill. Once these skills are developed, they take them through life and perfect them with time. Problem is, they can't be expected to implement something they've never been taught. So how do we teach them? Good news! The Tidy Moose is here to help! This is a book about a moose named Merle, who takes us through the countless benefits that come with being tidy. The intention behind this book is to both introduce, and encourage tidy habits from early beginnings. All whilst smiling and having fun along the way! "If Merle can do it, so can I!"
