Kids

  • Kids schoolwork and art projects can quickly take over your home. To control the paper, buy a large plastic bin for each child and limit the collection to only what will fit. As the bin gets full, you (or your child) will have to make some choices about what to keep. Remember, the idea is to have some memories of this time in their lives. A selection of papers is just as effective as having everything. Plus, you will be instilling good stuff-management skills in your children!

  • Get kids into the habit of decluttering early. After they have received some new things: after a birthday, holiday, or start of a school year -- help them get rid of some old items they no longer use. Together, choose a charity to donate the items to, or have a small yard sale and give your children the profits.

  • Put your children's clothes away in outfits, rather than shirts in one drawer and pants in another. Now, even young kids can dress themselves!

  • Get kids involved in daily clean-up. Each evening, set a timer for 5 minutes. Everyone picks up as much as they can in that time. A job well done earns a star, and a week of stars earns a treat!
