Sure they love a clean, tidy room but they can't seem to keep it that way. The obvious reason might be that everything CAN'T be put away, but that's not right. There is a space for everything. The items just can't seem to make it back into the drawers and baskets!
A familiar lament that I am guilty of too.
Before school I asked my youngest if I could rearrange his room today. He agreed.
This is why....
 |
| Bits and bobs EVERYWHERE |
 |
| And thats AFTER picking up all the laundry! |
After a couple hours of sorting and moving and cleaning I came to this....
 |
| I hope he likes it |
 |
| The desk has more light by the window |
Amazingly I didn't have to throw anything out.... But I did toss a small bag of broken things and packages. Just through the act of putting like-things together and rearranging it looks so much better. Of course, this has fixed nothing. All the things in the baskets and drawers can make their way back onto the floor and desk easily!
The cupboard is now the designated home for his R.C. cars (his big hobby) and the cube baskets are for small toys. The desk drawers for Lego and the bins in the closet are sorted into theme (playmobils, bionicles, Star Wars) closet upper shelf for his large RC airplanes. It is organized and presently clean. I will plead with him to let go of more things. First by leading by example!
