How can I develop appropriate organizational systems for my child?

What's great about having organizational systems in your children's rooms is that it's also not only does it keep everything organized but also teaches your kids how to be organized. Organizational systems teaches them to have systems in their life and places where everything belongs. At the same time I think you want these systems to be flexible because you want them to grow with your kids, you don't want them to be so rigid because you want to give your kids some space and to be their own individual. So It's really good to stick to some basics and know that these basics can grow with them. An example for organizational systems, you know, I use shelves spaces with baskets on them. Now what we put in these baskets can change every 6 months. For one period of time, it may be things like blocks and cranes and Play-Doh and things like that, and in 6 months it could be, cars and trucks and dolls and whatever. So it's just working more with the idea that things that are loose would go into baskets, things that you wear go in the closet. It's really like, you know, working with teaching kids certain concepts, and things that they shouldn't be reaching are going to go higher up and then, growing these systems with them. That Is What's so great about having organizational systems.
