And I would expect that children would also be able to start to learn to put their things back on the floor.
And we always do it really positively.
Like instead of saying, don't leave things on the floor, we'd say, oh, these clothes go in the basket if they're dirty.
And they also can learn consequences eventually, because if they don't put their clothes in the wash, then they don't have their favorite trousers ready again, you know, for the next day.
So that's something to build up to as they get older as well.
i think that these kind of parents it probably doesn't come naturally for them to always put their socks in the same place or
or to set up that entrance hall that we talked about that it would be quite difficult.
So I would then get them to enlist a friend, someone who is super organized.
You can just come in and help them get it set up because once it's set up, it's not brain science, it's not difficult.
And they might just need them to come and check on them in six months to check that everything's kind of still running as normal.
But yeah, I mean, basically, maybe you could even, if you're an older child, say, hey, let's help each other because you know that I also struggle with putting my things back and you can help me, remind me if I'm getting it wrong.
And then you're kind of like playing along with them and making a little bit of a game of it as well.
Or you can get people to come in and help you declutter and to help you set up your spaces and things like that if you're finding that you're also really struggling with it.
And it just might be a one-off thing.
One thing we haven't really talked about is actually getting rid of a whole lot of stuff out of your house anyway, because I find that with good intentions, we receive presents from people and we have extra clothing that we're not really using.
And so I think it's really important to just have a look at our spaces and get rid of some things so that it
doesn't mean like if it's really hard for a child to pack away their clothes if not everything fits in the drawer because they're trying to shove it all in so actually they need five t-shirts and they will get washed they don't need to have 10 20 t-shirts in there to struggle with
Quite possibly, yes.
Actually, I did it myself a couple of years ago and I feel like there's a weight lifted from me.
Instead of having all this extra clutter around, you really just keep things that you love or that are useful and the rest you can say, thank you for the joy you brought.
