Involve your kids!

Doing everything for your children will do nothing but teach them bad habits. Doing this will lead to a lack of respect for their belongings. This stems from a childhood where personal possessions were treated as easily replaceable or other people picked up after you.

When organizing your kids room, have them help. Let make a game of the organizing projects. Reward them with a treat after the organizing project. By doing this your child will have accountability when it comes to the area they helped to organize.

As a mom I know this will take much longer then just doing the project yourself, but just remember teaching our children these good habits will follow them into adulthood!
