They can start with simple parts from a young age, for example taking out socks or passing clothespins, and take on more responsibility according to their maturity and coordination.
Stay calm, offer limited choices, clothespins or hangers, now or in 10 minutes, and divide the task into short steps to reduce resistance.
Create a fixed routine and rely on visual reminders, calendar or checklist, until the habit becomes automatic.
Correct with a brief demonstration and one concrete improvement, "shake before hanging," and prioritize progress over perfection so they do not lose motivation.
Assign clear, rotating roles, unload, sort, hang, and define an objective finish criterion so everyone knows when the task is complete.
