2) Give a child a task to organize. From a bookshelf to a
table top, show them not only how to organize, but why it is important.
3) Walk through their environment and point out the things
they could organize better.
4) Reward the child for his or her effort.
5) Be consistent and remind him or her to stay organized
everyday. Ask, “Did you put your items back after you used them?” If they continuously forget, you will have to
remove favorite items from area or other distractions until he or she improves.
6) Communicate what you are teaching your child to others so
that they too will help your child learn good organizational skills.
Things to start teaching children to organize in their room and elsewhere:
1) Video games and accessories
2) School work
3) Clothes
4) Bedding
5) Small toys
6) Edibles in the kitchen
7) Bathroom items
Once they have shown that they are doing well organizing their items, remember to reward them and encourage them to keep up the good work!
