Helping your Kids Organize their Room

Have you been shying away from helping your kids organize their rooms? If your answer is yes, now is the time for you to stamp your feet and say no to such scenes as tossed toys, heaped clothes, overflowing drawers and messy beds. Continually throwing up your hands in exasperation will in no way, help the situation but taking charge and showing your children how they can maximize space and be more comfortable when they keep their rooms clean will help the situation. I want to point out that you should not do this alone, the children should be actively involved because that is the only way they will learn the necessary skill of organizing their spaces, even as adults.

De-clutter the room: Whether you like it or not, even though there is a playroom in the home for your kids, they would always play in their rooms and because of this, you always find their room stuffed or scattered with assorted toys and clothes. If this is the case, get hold of your garbage bag and with the kids right beside you, get rid of those toys and clothes they have outgrown. You can donate such items to charity or dispose them properly.
