Clean your room!"  It’s the battle cry of millions of parents. A new school year brings fresh impetus to the drive to get kids organized–and nowhere is the battleground more intense than in the children’s bedrooms.   How do you help children organize their rooms and their stuff?

I found these strategies posted by Cynthia Townley Ewer are very practical and worth trying to help calm clutter and bring order to kids’ rooms:

1. Take a child’s eye view.

2. Bring the child into the process.

3. Sort, store and simplify.

4. Contain, corral and control.

5. Make it easier to put away, harder to get out.

6. Organize bottom to top.

7. Label, label, label.

8. Build a maintenance routine.
