8 Great Tips for Organizing Kids' Rooms

Whether it is summertime or the kids are back in school, they need to be more organized to keep up with summer fun and events or their schoolwork and after-school activities.

Try these two tips to calm clutter and bring order to kids' rooms for a start::

Take a child's eye view

Get down to your child's eye level to help him or her get organized. Look at your child's space, storage, furniture and possessions from his or her vantage point. The view may surprise you!

Lower clothing rods and invest in child-sized hangers. Use floor-level open containers to hold toys, open plastic baskets to store socks and underwear.

Bring the child into the process

Resist the urge to wade into the mess alone, garbage bags flying. Gritted teeth and threats of "You will keep this room clean!" don't touch the root of the problem: teaching children organization skills and maintenance methods.
