Too Much Stuff!

If you find that you are constantly walking around the house picking up your kids stuff there is a way to manage it. After trying different methods, I have found this one to be quick and effecient.

Get a large basket for each child and place their name on it.

As you are moving throughout the house during the day pick up items for each child and drop them in the respective bin.

If you have a younger child, once a day take the bin to their room and put their stuff away.

If you have an older child, make them put away their own stuff each day.

If you have problems getting them to clean out their bin, at the end of the day empty it into a secret location.

Now when they are missing something you know right where it is, and you can tell them that they have to do a chore to earn the item back.

Eventually they will learn to pick up their own stuff.
