Children's self-discipline is cultivated by parents' discipline, especially how to make children clean up automatically. I believe it is a problem for mothers all over the world, and Japanese wives who are especially good at housework are no exception.

For children, it is actually very difficult to clean up their own things.

Osayosan, a Japanese internet celebrity blogger with 300,000 followers, also said that it is very difficult for adults to put away items and return them to their original places every time, and it is even more difficult for children to pack up spontaneously.

After all, people are lazy, and there will always be the idea of: wait until later.

In order to overcome such inertia, it is better to create a good storage area and let the environment adapt to your needs

Osayosan tried many methods in order to develop the habit of letting her son tidy up. As a result, she found that her son especially likes to play with puzzles. Following this characteristic, she took pictures of the items when they were put away and pasted them on the storage box.

I didn't expect this trick to work in one try!

Osayosan said that his son will carefully observe the placement of items in the photos, just like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and learning to put them in the same place will be able to organize the items neatly.

Think of storing as a game, and let the children follow suit. Not only can they be familiar with the location of the items, but they will not have to ask their mother where the things are stored at any time.

Entertaining

Osayosan gives us a pretty good example

Then I will show you more storage tips for children's rooms, and see how Japanese housewives create a space for children to learn to tidy up automatically!

The whole family has a toy area, so you can take it back easily
If you want to store neatly, the most important thing is to shorten the storage line, and the most annoying storage among children's items is toys

There are many toys and different sizes, and if you think about it, the largest living room must be a children's playground, but the storage cabinet for toys is in the children's room. How can children be willing to put them back in such a long distance.

The best way is to:

Let the storage return to within a radius of 2 meters of the use area, and it can be stored in two or three steps, improving the child's spontaneity

And in the age of 0 to 5, it is the stage of establishing habits, so most parents will use the living room or dining room as a game area, so that they can see the situation of their children at any time.

Like Osayosan, before her daughter was 3 years old, she also played in the living room.

So the location of the storage box might as well be placed in the living room.

There is a place in the TV cabinet for children's toys and picture books, which is convenient to play and read at any time.

Colorful toys in the living room will look particularly messy, and Japanese housewives who are storage enthusiasts can't stand it.

It is recommended to divide the toys into different categories, choose a unified storage box, and the design with the same appearance will look particularly neat.

At the same time, a shallow storage box is used, which has a small capacity, so the overall weight is also light. When it is time to play, the child can pick it up and move it by itself, and it is also convenient to put it back.

The most important thing is to paste the photos of the toys on the outside of the storage box like this, so that children can easily identify them. After watching the photos are put away in order, the toys can be put back to their original positions.

After the age of 5, you start to behave a little bit, and let the children play in their own room independently. At this time, you might as well move all the toys to the children's room to make the space in the home tidy.

The height of the cabinet can also be adjusted according to the height of the child in due course, and the storage box can be used to stack up layers, so you don’t need to buy more cabinets.

However, small toys such as painting tools and card games should be stored in transparent zipper bags and PP storage boxes.

Transparent and visible like this, you can find it in one go.

The square box is not afraid of being messy when placed in the drawer, and it can be neatly arranged.

However, if there are too many small car models, it is difficult to store them. It is better to use paper rolls to arrange them. Each car has a fixed position, and it is clear at a glance which one you want to play.

School supplies are collected in this way, and learning is efficient
When they reach school age, children begin to have their own desks, and there are more stationery, textbooks, and homework, so they have to find a storage area.

Documents such as examination papers and homework are stored in file boxes.

Books are classified according to study subjects, so it is not easy to forget to bring them to school.

If the desk has a large drawer, all the books can also be put in it.

The drawers are divided into compartments for storage, plus label instructions, which is also a good storage method.

Different stationery is separated one by one with storage boxes, so that homework is more efficient.

And Emi, a housewife who has published 12 storage and parenting books, suggested that everyone might as well create an area dedicated to school supplies, and put all the items used in the same area.

In addition to textbooks, there is also a special area for schoolbags, which can be placed next to the desk so that homework can be done as soon as you get home.

Even the clothes you often wear are put together to save time when you go out.

Stationery and textbooks are stored in layers, and the orderly design keeps things from being messy.

You can also directly move out a special wardrobe for storage.

If there are more than two children, it is recommended to store them in separate areas, like this Japanese lady Shoko, who specially separates the upper and lower layers, the upper layer is for the elder brother, and the lower layer is for the younger brother, and the schoolbags and coats that go out are put together.

The height has also been specially calculated, so that the younger brother can easily get it.

And scattered items such as handkerchiefs, gloves, and umbrellas also have a storage box for each person, and they will not be messy if they are stored separately.

However, you can also put items such as school bags, masks, and handkerchiefs that are only used in school near the gate, so that they are not easy to forget when they are prepared once before going out.

Or use the mobile dining cart for storage, which can be moved to the desk at any time, and can be placed in the porch after finishing homework, so that it is convenient to go out immediately.

Finally, I would like to make a summary for everyone. If you want your children to clean up spontaneously, you must first implement the three principles of Japanese wives:

1 Create a good homing environment, and the storage cabinet is best within a radius of 2 meters

2 Separated by a storage box, the items are clear and clear at a glance

3 Add tags and tidy photos to induce children to tidy up spontaneously
