consider these tips for controlling kid clutter

Just as youngsters take baby steps to learn how to walk, getting their room de-cluttered and cleaned also takes steps. You don't have to be the cleaning fairy, magically whisking it all away. Just follow these simple tips for keeping their room tidy.

Take a baby step approach to de-clutter. First, skim away trash. Then, hamper dirty laundry. Move on to big stuff and fill in with parts and pieces. Store items in bins, boxes, and baskets labeled appropriately. Wire baskets make it easy to see and retrieve what's inside avoiding the temptation to toss it all out.
Show kids where things go with picture and word labels. Art Supplies. Books. Blocks. Games. Movies. Puzzles. While you build good habits, you can help kids make meaningful connections between words, illustrations and actual objects.
Make it easy to pick up and put away school supplies and clothes by lowering hooks, bars and shelves. Stepstools can help, but for safety and ease, lower is better. Double up on clothing bars-one low and within your child's reach, the other higher for special clothes requiring your help.
Let them express without the mess. Designate shelves, tack boards or other special areas for artistic display and A plus school projects-giving your child an outlet for personal expression and a sense of responsibility for the room.
Create a comfortable study space. Situate desk and chair heights so that your knees, elbows and hips relax at right angles while seated at the keyboard or writing area. To comfort a growing child, choose an adjustable chair, and add a footstool when needed.
