Teaching Your Kids How To Organize with Ashlyn Clover

Today on the Simply Joyful Podcast I have a very special guest — my daughter Ashlyn! Ashlyn is helping me this week on our topic of teaching your kids how to organize! I sat down to write notes about this episode, I had the brilliant idea of having Ashlyn on! While she is still learning, she is doing an amazing job getting organized! Today we’re going to share all the tips and tricks on helping your kids get organized too!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE SIMPLY JOYFUL PODCAST:

• Ashlyn shares a little about her journey to organization — plus she gives her best organizing advice.
• We share what happens when you have too much stuff — and how to clean an area and decide what to keep and what to donate or throw away.
• It’s great to declutter, but another great thing to keep in mind is to make sure kids know where their stuff belongs. I asked Ashlyn to share how she remembers where her stuff goes.
• Ashlyn and I chat about the toy rules in our house and they help keep everything organized. We also chat about the importance of having the correct tools for successful tidying up!  
• One of the things Ashlyn does is her own laundry (yes, at eight!) Ashlyn gives tips on how she does her laundry.   
• We chat about how mom (me) goes a little crazy with the refrigerator cleaning. 
• As we wrap up, Ashlyn shares last-minute tips on organization for kids!
