Saturday
Change sheets and bring aRL laundry to laundry room

Sunday
Free Day – you can also use this as a make up day

Each week, make a mental note of the items that end up scattered about. Use baskets, boxes, shelves or create your own solution to keep these items together. You may need to try several different solutions before you find one that works. If something seems to be working… leave it alone!

Each day, encourage your child to perform the scheduled tasks. Give them a time limit and use a timer (15 minutes should be enough time). Don’t be too picky, just try to guide them. They wiRL soon figure out that if they clear their dresser on Monday and throw everything on the floor, that on Wednesday they wiRL have to pick that stuff up AGAIN when they clear the floor.

Remember… it only takes 15 minutes per day to keep your child’s bedroom neat and clean.
