kids sort through their backpacks so they learn what to file and what to
toss. Consider giving each child a big storage box to save artwork and
other papers.
Create a routine. Kids thrive on structure. Snack time first, then
homework before playtime.
Create a central calendar to keep track of your family. A color-coded
calendar works great. Just assign each member of the family a different
color, and write down his or her activities in color-coded ink.
Provide an adequate work area. Consider using a "homework station," a
portable zone to stow all necessary supplies. That way, you won't have to
scramble to find a pencil, eraser or glue.
Make organization fun. Let your child choose colorful notebooks,
portfolios or locker supplies to help them stay on track.
Set a good example. It's not likely that your kids will see the need for
organization if your bedroom or home office looks like a tornado swept
through it. Make a point to lead by example.
