Now the summer holidays are upon us, the kids are home from school, cue an increase in chaos and mess…..! 😬
But what if it didn’t have to be that way?
Why not use this time while they’re around and don’t have homework to get the kids involved in decluttering their things and their rooms?
We’ve often found that clients whose parents decluttered without them when they were growing up have reeeeaaally struggled to let things go as adults, and find it harder to trust other people with their things.
Involving them in the process now teaches them how to let go, shows them respect and trust and gives them a sense of responsibility and value over their belongings.
Getting them to focus might be difficult so you can gamify the process, or do it a little at a time.
If you find that they don’t want to listen to you as their parent and they’d much more likely engage with an impartial outsider, why not send us a message at The Good Sort
As professional organisers, we share a wealth of experience working with children - Anna previously worked as a child minder’s assistant, and Sarah taught piano and violin for over 15 years. We build a good rapport with them and keep the process fun and engaging.
We’ve been told we make the process fun for adults too😉
We’ll give your children or teens a sense of ownership over their space again, build in organisational systems that work with the way that they think and live, and teach them good habits to encourage them to keep it up.
What we achieve with our clients in one day, would take many a whole week or more to achieve. This frees you up to spend the rest of your free time as you want to this summer, outside and with your friends and family. 🌞
