Cleaning and organising Kids' room

Get them involved in cleaning while young

It is important to maintain a healthy environment for your kids. Keeping their room clean and organized is an important part of that. Part of raising healthy kids is involving them in caring for themselves and their environment - that way it sticks with them all their lives.

Here are some top tips you can follow to organise a kids’ room, whether you are a parent or a kid:

Set a goal: Sit down with your child and set a goal for what you want the room to look like and what needs to be done to achieve that goal.

Involve your child: Have your child be a part of the organizing process and ask for their input on how they would like their room to be organized.

Create designated areas: Use different colored baskets or bins to create designated areas for toys, books, clothes, and crafts.

Use clear storage containers: Clear storage containers make it easy for children to see what's inside and find what they are looking for.

Use drawer dividers: Use drawer dividers to keep clothes, socks, and underwear organized.

Use hanging organizers: Use hanging organizers to keep stuffed animals and small toys off the floor and easy to access.

Use wall shelves: Use wall shelves to store books, toys, and collectibles.

Use under-bed storage: Use under-bed storage to store out-of-season clothes, shoes, and toys.

Create a homework station: Designate a specific area for homework and studying, with a desk and all necessary supplies.

Use labels: Use labels to help children keep track of where things belong and make it easy for them to put things away.

Set a cleaning schedule: Set a regular cleaning schedule to teach children the importance of keeping their room clean and tidy.

Make it fun: Turn cleaning into a fun game or challenge, like a scavenger hunt or a race against the clock.

Lead by example: as a parent, try to keep your own room clean, as children are more likely to follow what they see than what they are told.

By involving your child in the organizing and cleaning process, you can teach them valuable skills and empower them to take ownership of their own space. With a shared goal, a schedule and clear defined areas, it will be easier for them and for you to maintain the order and cleanliness of the room.
