How To Help Your Child Develop Good Room Organizational Skills

How can I help my child develop good organizational skills?

Good organizational skills start at a really early age, and the best way to start them is, for example, at the end of every night, part of your evening ritual can be "ok, now lets clean up the room. Lets put the toys away. These pieces go in this basket, the books go here on the shelf." So it's ok, your kids can do whatever they're going to do during the day, and they can be free to take out whatever they want to take out. They just need to learn that at the end of the day, it's a good habit to have to put things back where they belong. And I think that that's a good way to start it all - to not be so rigid and not feel like it is a kids room after all. So if something spills, if something breaks, if it's just not working, you can find another solution - you can clean it up, it's not the end of the world. We want kids to be organized, we don't want them to get all obsessed about it. But I think its a good habit to have kids getting into.
