Kids grow so fast through different phases and their spaces get cluttered with unused clothes, toys, and anything else that they may own. This month's organizing challenge is organizing kids' areas. Here are areas your kids may have piles of stuff. I included links from other kids organizing posts I created over the years. I recommend working with your child slowing through the different areas. It helps them with the process of letting go. One to Two hours per session for each area for 10-12-year-olds is plenty of time. The younger the child, the less time they can do. Try splitting up the time throughout the day.
Tip: Making up a "clean-up and get rid of stuff" game can help. Here are a few examples: Have your child look for 3 red items that they want to get rid of, now have them pick up items that are blue to get rid of. Or have them pick out 5 stuffed animals they do not want and ask them who they want to give them to, explain that other kids may not have these toys, and would really love to have them.
