TIPS FOR ORGANIZING YOUR KIDS
Divide up your child�s room and belongings into
CENTERS
-- for grooming, rest, play, art, schoolwork, reading, etc.
If you want your kids to hang their clothes up, make sure your child�s
CLOSET
rod is low enough for him/her to reach easily.
Store
SMALL
items together -- marbles, army men, crayons, marbles -- in clear labeled jars or buckets.
Schedule a family
PLANNING
session once a week -- recording each person's activities (each in a different color pen) on one central calendar.
Use clear containers and
SEE-THROUGH
mesh bags for storage so your small children can see where their belongings are kept.
Have several small storage areas -- baskets or crates are good -- around the house for gathering up
PLAYTHINGS
quickly and easily.
Each year at gift-giving times, have your child
CLEAN
out the toys they don�t play with and clothes that don�t fit to make room for the new.
Use
MODULAR
storage components that can be adjusted and expanded as your kids� needs and abilities change.
