One of the questions so many of my young mom clients ask is, “How do I organize kids school papers?”

They don’t know what to do with all the stuff their kids make and bring home. These sweet mom’s love to sit down and see their children’s masterpieces when they come through the door, but, the one thing that dangles in each mothers mind is, “What do I do with all these papers now?” They don’t know what to keep and what to let go. If you too are concerned with how to select the keepers and easily store those selected, I have a FREE How To Organize Kids School Papers download for you and a two-step process for organizing kids school keepsakes.

Organizing habits learned early on and made part of a child’s life are skills that they can keep with them throughout adulthood. These 3 ideas will make it easier to teach children to organize and then maintain their own living spaces:

1. Make it FUN when you teach children to organize and maintain!

• Make it a game to put away toys. Reward children with a sincere “thank you” or points toward a prize they want. Your appreciation shows your approval.

If you can’t cram one more thing into your schedule, you may want to get organized. Every minute you are looking for something – means less time to relax. My clients gain about an hour a day after I help them organize their home or work-from-home office.
