These statistics prove that any organization tips are needed and welcomed by most people.

If we collectively, as adults are that unorganized, can you imagine how unorganized our kids are? I'm painting a pretty grim picture of clutter, but it's inevitable around the house especially with kids. But, you can manage and control the clutter in your home, especially if you involve your kids and teach them these organization tips listed below.

So, here are some organization tips to organize kids, even before they are born!

Organization Tips for Expectant Moms

You're going to be busy with a new baby, so it's best to prepare as much in advance as possible, then change things and re-organize as needed once your new baby arrives.

Here's some tips for the "little but, helpful things" we don't tend to think of before the bundle of joy arrives.

Changing diapers. Use a changing table with open shelves underneath and put baskets in the open shelves to organize diapers, extra clothes, wipes, burp rags, etc. Hang a shelf above the changing table and use baskets to store things you don't want your baby getting into once they're mobile like diaper cream, combs, brushes, baby lotion, etc.

Keep a diaper changing caddy filled with extra diapers, wipes, diaper cream, etc. Anything you use to change your baby should go in the caddy so you can carry it room to room if needed.

If you're going to breastfeed then purchase a breast feeding pillow and keep a caddy filled with stuff you'll use while breast feeding. Good things to keep on hand are lanolin to prevent sore breasts, Soothies for sore breasts, tissues, baby wipes, water for you, a couple of burp rags, reading material for those long nursing session, etc.

Some type of basket like a Moses basket or seat to set your baby in and carry from room to room with you.

Kids Toys

As kids grow, they accumulate a lot more stuff, especially toys, so here's some more tips.

Categorize toys according to kinds or sizes. Blocks, dolls, balls, etc. can be good categories to start with.

Use storage containers and baskets to contain it all.

Label everything so your kids know where to put things when it's clean up time. If your kids can't read yet, then use pictures for labels.

Organization Tips for School Kids

Install cubbies and shelves with hooks in your entryway so kids can put up their caps, shoes, coats or jackets when they get home.

Teach kids to empty their backpacks and give you all notes from school, permission slips, etc.

Dedicate a working corner for the kids to do their homework and other school activities. Use boxes and storage containers to organize this area.

Get your kids to do some chores to teach them responsibility and help you out around the house.

Teach kids to prepare for the next day the night before by packing their backpacks, making their lunch, and laying out what they are going to wear the next day.

Teach your kids to write out "to do" lists so they don't forget anything.

Start early teaching your kids how to get organized. The organizational skills you instill will serve them well as they continue to grow into adulthood.
