Practical tips to keep your child’s room clean and organized.

 

Wanting your child to be organized and stay safe is an innate desire for parents. But sometimes, your kids don’t see it that way. All your kids want to do is play, play and play some more! If you’re tired of the mess, and you are having a hard time keeping your child’s room clean and organized, keep reading because in this article I am going to give you some tips to help you achieve your goal.

Tip# 1. Make the room efficient for them.

Make use of small drawers and cabinets where you can put your child’s belongings. Utilize anything that fits the design or budget. The easier it is to access, the better the chance that it will be used by your child.

For example, for big toddlers, hanging their clothes on small hangers, on a low hung rod can help them choose their outfit and help them to feel like they are making their own decisions. These feeling of independence will help them to start to like how things work, and as they grow they will like having their clothes hung.

Tip# 2. Organize your baby’s room wisely.

Grouping the essential things you need in one area will help you find things quicker and make the job of caring for your baby much easier and safer. For example, put all the items you need for changing your baby on, or near your changing table. You never want to leave your baby on the table to move across the room to pick up something that’s out of place. Likewise, arrange baby’s bath basics together including towels and washcloths. Keep them within easy reach when you are bathing your baby.

Tip# 3. Place shelves at reaching height for your child in their room to keep Your Child’s Room clean.

Shelves can be used to put toys on and when your child wants to play, she can easily reach them without having to drag out all the other toys. This will lead me to the next tip.

Tip# 4. Place a limit on the toys that are used at one time.

To keep the mess under control you must teach your child to play with one toy at a time. Then before she can play with another toy, she must put the first one away. If its on a shelf that’s at a level where she can easily access it, this job should be an easy task, they just may have to be reminded that the first toy has to be put back before the second one can be taken out.

Tip# 5. Make organizing and keeping the room clean a fun activity.

Make using special containers for toys with small pieces a fun part of playing with that toy. For example, use an old shoebox as a toy car garage. Another example of making organization fun would be to place a basketball hoop on top of your little boys laundry hamper. He’ll be able to practice some basketball moves every time he changes his clothes.

Tip# 6. Teach your child how to clean his room.

Children learn by example. First of all, set standards and let them know how important it is to you to keep things organized.

Start early, as soon as your child can walk. Create a designated space for each item and invite your little one to help you. The earlier you start, and the more organized you have the spaces, the chances that your child will learn and develop the organization skills will be greater.

And most importantly, ask your child to join you when you are cleaning his room. Point out that there is a place for everything and keeping the room clean is as easy as putting every item back in it’s place. As long as you don’t let the room get too out of hand, cleaning will be easy. Eventually, you can transition to sitting on the bed and telling your child what needs to be done. Then later, he will know what to do without you being there.
