Kids have an uncanny ability to create monumental messes in the blink of an eye.

With some quick and easy organization tips, you can help bring order to the chaos. If you help your kids start forming these habits when they are young, then you have a better chance of instilling some organizational skills in them.

   My husband traveled a great deal when the children were small so I had to set up systems to keep the house running smoothly. I placed their good toys, like special dolls with tiny clothes, shoes and socks in their bedrooms, with instructions that they remain there. We had space in the basement for blocks and legos where there were works in progress that could stay in construction mode out on the floor and I was lucky enough to have an enclosed side porch where messy things went like paint, easels etc… I strategically set baskets at the top and bottom of all the stairs and around the house. During the day, items that had strayed from their spots went into the baskets and were delivered to their locations at the end of the afternoon. The biggest help, was to feed them a full dinner when they came home from school. They were starving and were filling up on junk. A proper meal at 3:30 broke the dinner time battle that ensued because they were already full from snacking. After their proper dinner, they could sit down with dessert or any snack and chat with us at dinner. This also helps to get the large pots and pans cleaned up, freeing me for bath and bed time chores.
   Best,
   Liz
