These days it seems children have so much stuff. The dizzying array of toys, games and electronics can become a real nightmare if a little organization is not introduced. Especially if you have younger children, you will want to teach them good organization skills for their personal space. These skills will serve them the rest of their lives. Here are some techniques to get started.
Set Boundaries. Clearly establish with children where items belong and do not belong. Toys that are from their playroom/area should not make it to their bedrooms. Also enforce rules about how many toys can be out at once. Create Unique Storage. There may be several ways to utilize the space in the bedroom to maximize organization. Shelves or hooks on the wall that the child can reach can serve several purposes. Closet organization systems may also help out in the closet area. Use Covered Toy Boxes. A big open bin of toys seems like a good way to go, but not so in reality. Often the boxes will be overflowing, and it makes it much easier to make a mess of the room. Get the Kids Involved. Even if the child does not seem enthusiastic about the changes they will have to be making in their lives and bedrooms, get them involved. They may not like it at the time, but they will benefit from learning about organization, and some children will take a shinning to it. Introduce a Routine. This is the most important step. A regular routine has to be established to have any chance of keeping the room free of clutter. A well established routine will require a lot of time and energy at first, but after the bedroom is organized, the straightening routine will become quick, like second nature.
