5 ways to turn your child's room clutter into a perfectionist's paradise

What does the order look like?

The secret of a harmonious space for life is the absence of detached and scattered things. Painted wallpaper will not look ugly if it is not complemented by mountains of toys scattered randomly on the floor.

Books on the mezzanine, accessories for drawing and sculpting, construction sets and collections of cars or dolls ... Even if they are in their places, but in plain sight, the impression of a cluttered space will be created.

How to clean up a children's room

Containers, shelves and shelving. Many different, preferably closed and strong enough. Built-in drawers under a bed, sofa, or even a children's tent will do. For each type of toys, you need to choose your own storage and introduce a daily ritual of sorting everything that has accumulated during the game into places.

When planning a children's room, the right investment is to order a storage system designed by parents taking into account the hobbies and needs of children.

For convenience, containers can be signed

Dosing. The best solution would be to divide children's clothes into 2-3 parts. One of them can be left available for the game "here and now", the rest can be hidden. This can solve two problems at once. On the one hand, it will be easier for children to clean their room, on the other hand, they will have time to miss the rest of the games, and in a couple of weeks they will perceive them as practically new.

Farewell to the old. Toys, like clothing, need regular disassembly. Everything that the child does not use for 1-2 months must be removed. Take it to the sandbox, give it to those in need, or throw it away mercilessly. These things no longer bring joy and create a sense of disorder.

Calm nursery design. Do not overload the interior of the room with an abundance of carpets, photo wallpaper, and posters in bright colors. They are able to have an exciting effect on the still unformed child's psyche and provoke excessive activity. Small prints and mismatched shades also create a clutter impression.

Pastel colors make a great base

Cleaning in the form of a game... Children do not like to do something "out of hand", so it is much easier for parents to form a new healthy habit in them through play. You can clean up together for speed, put your favorite characters to sleep, or leave the room for a short period of time, and upon returning, you can be surprised at the changes that have taken place in it.

How can you help your child maintain order?

A place for creativity. If the size of the apartment allows, a small place for the release of energy can be arranged for the baby. For example, attach a white Whatman paper or a magnetic board to the wall, or even set up an easel. And agree that he will be able to express himself in them the way he wants.

Over time, the kid will learn to dump emotions through creativity, and will stop throwing toys out of excess of feelings.

A chalk board works great too.

Shelves and racks at height level. The child will be more willing to put books and games on the shelves, if he does not need to make additional efforts to reach the places where they are stored.

Own inventory. Surprisingly, sometimes, in order to develop a child's habit of cleaning up after themselves, it is enough to give him his own colorful trash can.

An example of parents. It is unlikely that the baby will clean up his room if his parents do not.
