They really do!  But just like adults, if they have never organized their things, it can be difficult to know where to start.

As a parent, you are the important catalyst.  Start your children on the road to organization by spending time with each child individually to show them what to do.  One-on-one time & guidance from you can become a fun afternoon with newly created memories.  Once it’s done, they are proud of their new space & the treasures they have found.  And you have helped them edit their clothes & toys so you know what they need.

Don’t forget the treat at the end to thank them (and you) for their participation & hard work.

As with anything we work hard to achieve, the pride & motivation created makes it easy to keep their room organized.  My youngest clients are probably the most excited to show me their tidy rooms & closets when I come back.  They practically drag me into their rooms, telling me all along the way how great it is AND what they do to keep it organized.

Most importantly, they love the time you spent with them helping & teaching them how to care for & respect their belongings.
