If you're the kind of mom who wonders how each time you open the door of your child's room how such a small creature can make such a mess, it's time to know some tips we've selected so you can organize your room. your child and help you keep everything in order longer.
The child's room is his space, where he creates his fantasies, plays, studies and develops, but even so, a little organization is essential and if he grows up in an organized environment, he tends to adopt these habits and become an organized adult.
Get to work
Who says room cleaning needs to be a stressful and boring process? With a little creativity and depending on the age of the child, it is possible to insert it into the activity. This will make it easier for you to find everything you need and will feel useful in doing the job.
Sort everything by categories
Try to separate everything into catogories: toys, clothes, books, school supplies, and bedding. If your child can participate in this step, you can help them understand that each group of things needs a specific space.
Get rid of what isn't useful
After all, the second step is to start taking everything you don't need from the room, a tip that is even more important for those with space constraints.
If your child's room is small, there is no need to leave unnecessary things there. At this stage, the child may resist shedding some things, a great opportunity to begin work on detachment and a sense of charity. First take away any old clothes, toys and materials that cannot be reused for disposal. Then separate everything that is in good condition and that can be donated for reuse by other children.
It may be a garment that no longer fits, a toy that he is no longer interested in, or even books that no longer fit the child's age. Several day care centers and welfare institutions have a donation withdrawal service, which makes life even easier.
Organize the toys
The best way to store the toys so that they are not scattered all over the room minutes later is to pack them in specific containers. They can be boxes, chests, bags, it all depends on your creativity and also the decoration of the room.
One tip is to use colored and transparent boxes so that the toy can be easily visualized and prevent the child from taking everything at once to pick up a particular toy. If, for example, you separate dolls in the blue box, games in the green box and strollers in the yellow box, your child will make a habit of separating everything and easily finding what they want. Another tip is to leave these boxes on the floor, in an easily accessible place, to avoid the child having to climb on chairs, which can cause accidents.
Abuse Shelves
Shelves are always a good choice for both decorating and organizing. If your child keeps books and dvd's in the room, arranging everything on shelves, while leaving the space beautiful, makes viewing easier so he can choose whatever he wants.
Clothes
The mess that kids make in the drawer wanting to look for their own clothes also causes a lot of headache for moms, but until they learn to put their own clothes in the way Mom likes, you'll have to live with it. However, for ease of organization, it is best to have bedding in places that it cannot easily reach, even to prevent it from becoming a toy and messing up.
Clothing should be separated as far as possible by placing separate t-shirts for shorts, warm clothing, panties, briefs and socks.
And if after all this you go back to the room and everything is out of place again, be patient, persistent and explain to the child how important it is to have an organized environment. Gradually he will assimilate and grow with a sense of well-developed organization, which is essential for social, family and professional life.
