let this be a warning to new parents: this is why you get your children into the practice of cleaning after themselves and cleaning their own spaces, while they’re very little. the only way they’ll get better at something is through practice and repetition so start as early as possible!

Yes! We had our kids cleaning things at 3. They would put their cup and plates away after they were done eating. Now he’s 9 and he cleans his room on his own.

Hey there fly guy! I was just watching you yesterday while editing, keeping me company. I really try. Our rules and routines are not the worst or the best but we are trying to figure it out. It’s hard because the kids are their own person learning also and hell so are we our self to both be the example and then enforce. Thanks for stopping in. Good to hear from you.

Inspiration because anything lying around your home you switch them around to other spaces ti look so good vs going out to purchase everything New… if I make sense.

Maybe someone already commented - I didn't get through all the comments - but you can also do a kind of hanging net high up in the corner of the room and display the stuffed animals that way if you end up needing the closet shelf. It keeps them in one place, off the floor, and easy to simply toss in the net when done using.

YES! Thank you for saying that! I felt like we were the only ones dealing with that with the little toys/items. The little things drive me crazy. You are so right about all the holidays and getting allll the little toys and items. We have three daughters and over the years the older two have basically passed down allll of their things to my littlest one so that they can still have it around, and while she LOVES having it, it's a nightmare of a mess. So, I need to get in my baby girl's room and declutter all the toys, and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it. We put LED lights in our girls' rooms too, and I felt the same way lol. I still want some in our bedroom! It's such a vibe. I hope your foot feels better soon!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for posting this! My daughters share a room and it’s basically just like the one in this video. And I can totally relate to the stages of being angry and feeling guilty and just being fed up. I have wanted so many times to just go in there and just throw everything away and start fresh but i’ve cleaned it for them so many times and tried so hard to find ways to make keeping their room clean and easy task for them. I get this frustrated resentful feeling like I wish they would just learn how to do it themselves I feel like maybe if they help do it and they cleaned it themselves maybe it would be easier for them to keep it clean since they would learn the lesson of how much work it is to get it clean. I’m working on it though. I feel like maybe the only way to get it clean right now is for me to just go in and be ruthless about it, lol. Thank you again so much for not being embarrassed or afraid to put this out there. I think it’s good for other parents to know they’re not alone in this kind of thing.

Great job, Shawna. When you first went into Jordan's room my thought was, "where does she sleep", and then it was like deja vu. A couple of suggestions, if you have an area where she can do crafts, and projects, that is not in her room, and you can keep an eye on the mess to have her clean it up that would be a good idea to get all craft materials out of her room. The other thing is she needs to sleep in her bed. If her room is so unorganized/messy that she cannot access her bed then she needs to clean it before she goes to bed. You could try and make it part of her "bed time" routine" to clean up her room. Her room looks great. I love the "grown up" look Savannah's room is taking on. I think the word you are looking for with the vines is "swag" or "garland". Love the new Mickey Mouse throw.

My daughter from middle school through high school would throw everything on her floor. Clean clothes, dirty clothes, trash, books, etc. I would just close her door. Usually once a month I couldn't stand it anymore. I would tell her a couple days before that we are cleaning your room top to bottom together. I would supervise her cleaning it and we would go through everything. She is now an adult. Has her own house, married with 4 children. She keeps her house very clean and picked up.

I have furniture in my house that I bought when I was 24 and now I am almost 52. It works fine for me. The only thing I did around 8 years ago was to paint it white. My mom never cleaned up my bedroom that I shared with my younger sister. When it became a mess she simply closed the door. 😅 But we never made such a disaster as your youngest. And I know for sure that we were not allowed to sleep somewhere else in the house, because of the mess. We simply had to clean up our bed for the night. Irma from the Netherlands

Tech is a GREAT motovator, better than groundings. Do you also set some family tech boundaries? All tech off 1.5 houses before bed? I understand that I can get lost in tech, and so can my kids, so I have to set a timer for us ALL to get off at a certain time. This helps them to then have the time to do things like school prep, tidy up and finishing chores. If I can't have complete control over my tech usage... how can my kids with less life experience. Also family dinners whenever possible puts a stop to tech bathwater is a clean up time for us.

She never really got the hang of it but I would always encourage her. .and I started teaching them when they were four to make their beds n pick up toys. The best they could. But one day my middle daughter just got up and cleaned her room just as spotless as I did. She got it at the age of 12. And her room always got so messy even after two days after I would clean it.

They used it as a form of punishment until I started keeping my room clean and there was nothing to be cleaned. Only dirty laundry had to be done.

There is times her room is this way and she will clean for 2 hours but she doesn’t know what to do with this. It’s easier for me to throw it out and her not decide ya know because it’s just papers she made and stuff. My ultimate goal is for them to have laundry chores but for now I just have them putting their clothes away. They are growing up so quick.
