Helping Kids Organize Their Stuff

The amount of things kids collect can be overwhelming. Teaching them to organize is a parental challenge. And if you are a sentimental parent that hates to thow out anything, it becomes more overwhelming.

Several helpful strategies might help here.

One is to have furniture that enables the storing of special memorabilia, such as beautifully crafted chests and bookcases.

Kids create so many wonderful crafts and drawings. How do you save all those? And when you do, they sometimes fade or chip away. So a second strategy is to take pictures of their creations. If the pictures are online, an additional benefit is that you can show them to family and friends more easily.
