Just a to keep things from creeping under the bed, purposefully put things there. A few hard sided under bed storage bins (no lids) and Eric can roll them out, put toys into it, and then roll them back in. Make that floor space do double duty. Also, as Cas from Clutterbug says, it has to be just as easy for you to put it away as put it down -- I would say open bins rather than closed systems. I would also work with Eric as part of his "good night" routine to have a 5 minute tidy as you help assist him getting his room reset. Sort of like the joy he had in making his own decisions about putting away his toys -- he can take ownership of his room, you are just there to encourage and aide, not to boss.
Great idea. My kids had limited space so they were allowed to take toys out in the living room. But as soon as they were done they had to get put back into the bins and back onto the closet shelf in their room. We had a box for legos, small cars and wood trains. Soon legos was the biggest bin and the other toys became less played with. The best thing to do for overwhelming clean ups is have less toys. If you do the toy rotation great. But if your kids don’t ask for the toys just get rid of them. 😂 Out of sigh out of mind might be the best decluttering method. It’s your time will tell box. 😉
I use under bed bins to sort toys in my tween and youngest room. It works great!
I also think that having a daily routine to reset the room is necessary for children to learn to keep their space tidy, a habit that will be very helpful as adults. A quick nothing on the floor routine is easily achievable if done daily, and it completely changes the look of the room.
Please, I am begging you. I see the mop you're using. Is it good? Could you tell me about it? I love your videos. I love your voice. I love your lipstick. Make God bless you and Happy New Year. Please respond to my post❤❤❤❤
Every room needs a trash can. That should help with trash finding its way to the floors. It has also helped me track when someone's been sneaking a whole pack of gum without permission. 😉😅
One of my friends sets a calendar event on her phone to rotate toys every 5-6 weeks
Yay Shannon! Love this new series, you can do it! 💪 I’m thinking maybe time will tell bins for the kids IF they struggle to let go? A’la Dawn the minimal mom. Those REALLY helped my daughter let go of TONS of stuff when the attachement had time to lessen. My son on the other hand is a born minimalist, doesn’t even want new clothes. I have to do interventions on his closet from time to time 😅 I really enjoyed and got tons of motivation from Dawns video ”The BEST Decluttering Ideas for 2024” IF you’d like some motivation 😊
Look at Eric organizing his cabinet! So proud!
🙌💖👏👏👍 you go girl👼🌻🙌🌻🙌🌻
You will be finding nerf darts for the next 20 years. My baby is 18 and in college. I emptied the vacuum canister last week and had to completely disassemble it to get out the stuck dart. This past summer we unloaded the world's largest collection of nerf stuff on the neighbor Littles. Eric is the best helper. I love his organization.
I love what you said about quality time and helping the girls with their rooms. My teens are 13 and 15, one is super messy and the other super clean so when I have to help the messy one, i get upset that she doesn't keep it more clean but yes i need to remember it's quality time and helping her to learn organization and cleaning skills.
Back in the day, I used the rotating system for toys from Sidetracked Home Executives. I used bankers boxes and put a variety of toys in each one and labeled the boxes T1, T2, etc. I wrote on a 3x5 card what each box had in them and added the corresponding number on the top of each card, and filed them in my card file box. Then the boxes with the toys were stored away and rotated each week or two. I saw the other day that you can order stickers with scan codes on them and compile a list of what goes with each scan code. You could utilize this the same as the 3x5 cards. By the way, my boys loved this. They weren't so overwhelmed by too many toys at once, and when the next box came out, it was like having new toys.
Our kids are 5 and 7. To keep their room in decent shape, every night before bed, we require their room be fully picked up. And we believe kids age 4-5 and above should be able to pick up their toys independently. So if ever it gets to be too much that they can't manage on their own, it is a signal to us that is time to declutter. And we keep decluttering until that daily pick up is not overwhelming for them. It has made our toy collection rather minimal, but it has made my job as a Mom and their daily routine easier for them, so it's a win all around. I also think it helps them sleep better to go to bed in a peaceful tidy space.
Yes! It helps to do a “mom reset” as I call it. I usually do one every couple of months. They are required to clean their rooms everyday, and I do a room check weekly. But there’s just something about me moving furniture and deep cleaning it all and organizing. They love it when it’s freshly organized. ❤
I love his room and he will too once things are put where they should be. He looks like your husband.
Under the bed storage containers are great for out of season clothes or for extra toys. They also help keep things from being shoved under the bed. Your son's excitement with the carpet and his play area was so adorable!
Im so excited to see you posted a new video. I look forward to watching it some time today.
I love his room! The past is what it is; all that matters is the now when it comes to house projects.
Love Eric’s “room makeover” looks great! He seemed very happy to help! Good job!😊❤
Hi Shannon! In so excited for this series! Watching you and Eric declutter his room takes me wayyyyy back to when my son and I would do his room! 😱
Now he’s almost 40 and his house is always in tip top shape! Feels like he took our time together decluttering into his adult years! 🥰
I love your channel! 😉
Eric is so happy now. Good job mom.
My kids would put clean clothes in the dirty clothes….reason being, they didn’t want to put them away. I put a stop to that once I realized it.
My boy's did the same thing. I then had them do their own laundry. Clean clothes in laundry was stopped.
I’ve run into that a few times thankfully that didn’t become a habit 😩
Yay! Excited for the series!! It looks great!!! Maybe consider putting bins under the bed even if empty- to block the space from holding lots of stuff.
Dang! I wish I thought of this when my son was young! Under his bed was a nightmare!
Toy rotation is great. If you are afraid to forget: Put a little note in the calender: Time to rotate toys. 😁
You did such a great job! You could get some fun peel and stick decals to put on the walls and they are easily removable if you have to change the use of the room again. Or just some fun artwork. Hobby lobby has some fun “boy room” things that you can get fairly affordable on the weeks that wall decor is on sale. We did this for our son’s room when he was really into marvel characters. Had like life size spider man and hulk decals on his walls. My husband found them on Amazon I think. Loved seeing the before and after. Great job! 👏 😊
Agree with the decals, they can add some big impact for not a lot of money and can be removed easily.
Great idea!
It looks awesome! I bet he's super happy with the larger play area. 🌻🍄
I know a lot of people are grossed out by this, but when my son was young we just put his mattress directly on the floor, Montessori-style. It's a little counterintuitive, but it actually keeps the room cleaner. They can't shove things under the bed and dust bunnies do not collect under there when there is no bed. Plus a lot of other cultures use floor beds. I'm not aware of much evidence to support this claim, but I know people say they sleep better when they are closer to the floor.
I love how proud Eric was in organizing!
The room looks great. I totally agree with you on holding off on the decorating for a couple of years. The walls are plain, so they'll take any decor, and you can just keep shopping your home as needs change.
Love how this room turned out also so cute how happy he got and yes my kids will toss there clean clothes on there floor after I wash them it drives me crazy
Clothes on the floor getting trampled on....that would be my 16 year old granddaughter. When she was at school and I was at her house babysitting her 15 month old half-sister, I did 10 loads of her clothes that were all over the place. I made her put them away and hang them up. She has a room at my house too and she is required to keep it neat.
We started our kids at 10 and 13 doing their own laundry 😊
I loved seeing him happily roll around on the carpet, and put his toys in the bins. I have a safety concern about the cords on the blinds next to his bed. Perhaps tying them up high and tucking behind the blinds, or someone else may have a suggestion. They are a strangling hazard.
I have wanted to do a toy rotation for YEARs. I was close once. And then I think the pandemic hit because there's a bunch of stuff I like putting bins to make a toy rotation that just stayed in those bins for the rest of your life and then I just literally took certain things out of the bins that my kid asked for. 😂 So yeah. Didn't work persay. But also had less toys in the play room so did help. It has been a lot of survival around these parts for a while. And life is getting a fast forward button while everything was going on.
Good job! 👏👏👏
So glad to see you energetic and glowing again.
Glue some thin wood boards to the inside of the bed base at the side and end to stop things going under the bed, space underneath is a good and bad idea. 😁😲
Looks amazing!!!!! Great job you two!!!! Tell him i think he did a fantastic job organizing his bins!!!! And you dod a fantastic job mama with all the clean up and redoing the space!
Girl, you are doing so good! Congrats! 🎉 Just keep swimming 😊
This was such a great idea, keeping responsibilities the same throughout the kids. Your husband helping with the house is such a great example.
Hi! Happy New Year! I’m in the same boat, My Son Passed Away in 1999, My Mom passed away, My Brother, and then! My Husband of 43 years married passed away last year! Ugggggggg! Today l did feel like doing something so l cooked, mind you my Father left my Mother in 1985, for a B ch, and 2 months after My Husband died she threw him out,(he is 90) but he is here with me l cooked cleaned microwave and under the sink!! Yaaa! And l also stared going to church 4 weeks ago! YOU are the one that inspired ME! God Bess You and Your Family!!
The room looks great. I bet the little man loves it.
Great job! It’s beautiful and Eric loved it! Those pillows sound great!
Looking forward to the next several videos!!
Great job on this room declutter and re-arranging!! I love how when you moved the bed over to the window, it really opened up the room so much more, so now Eric can sit on his new rug and really play a lot better than before. And the blue locker is so cute! And that bookshelf fits into that corner perfectly! Nicely done!!
Yes! Clean clothes in the floor makes me flip a lid!!!! I give them a warning before I do a check-in, but if I find clean clothes in the floor after the warning, consequences ensue!!!! They are teens, so they are 💯 capable.
My daughter was and still is messy….I found that bins and baskets helped organize….her shelves always had baskets as well as her closet floor! Now that she’s married and on her own, she’s doing pretty good keeping up. She and her husband are 50/50 with chores
Hey, I’m just here binge watching your videos and relating so much! Happy to have found your content
What a great job that you and Eric did. I'm excited for 2024 taking your house back Shannon❤
Great job Mom 💙
You Can not change the past, so you must not feel bad about yourself. Start now and do it a little better each Day. Progress, notperfection ❤ every evening just after dinner, you all take 10 -15 minutes to Pick up after your self. All Can manage that ❤❤❤❤ Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉
Absolute Steven (Stephen?) mini me!! He is so freakin cute
Good job, you are in the clutter fight time of life.
😮yes to many toys,If you put out 5 diffrent toys a week change out so he can really enjoy each one,put up all the other ones..or he can do a exchange out anytime with your help.😊
Great job!! Keep it going! And make sure everyone is on the same page! Purging helps the mind!
Please tell him he did a Great Job! What a sweet young man!
Actually you forgetting about the toys you put away is perfect. That way if he asks for them you can rotate them out. If you forget they exist AND he forgets they exist. It’s a win win. Then you can just get rid of them. 😊
Also there are toy blockers sold on Amazon. My daughter bought them to keep her dogs toys from going under there.
I need to remember to help my kids more too. They're 11 and 14 and CAN do it themselves, but it would be nice to help them more. In fact I'm going to stop packing Christmas downstairs and go up and help my daughter pack up her Christmas decor box in her room. Thanks for the reminder 😊
❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been in both of my daughter’s rooms helping them since filming this. The smiles on their faces, the conversations that were had were priceless. I once read being a parent is kind of like being a captain on a ship. It talked mostly about staying calm in rough waters so your passengers feel safe, but it also mentioned When the captain comes to sit down with you and have dinner it really makes you feel special. Same goes for parenting. When you sit down with your kid and meet them in their space it makes them feel special. I really have to remember to do it more often. It blessed me more than it probably blessed them.
Happy New Year! Great job on his room! I think you will find with him having less stuff for him to manage, his room will stay neater. Good luck!
The room looks so calm and cozy!
Happy New Year Shannon and family. Erics room looks sooo good now - I bet he loves it. You did a wonderful job Shannon, now go rest before you move onto the next project
If there is no door you could try a curtain with a tension rod? Love how it turned out, I want a locker like that too now lol
There are French doors that close thankfully.
@@LeafLikeOnATree oooh I see you said “it’s the first thing people see” and that it was a dinning room so thought it didn’t have doors. That’s great it does!
When it came to toy rotation I found it vital to schedule it in my calendar so that it emailed me a reminder. Otherwise I should just donate as we all forgot.
That’s a great idea!
Wow, that was so much stuff for you to deal with... it turned out great though!
Mach Dir keine Sorgen, mein Mann legt heute noch seine gefaltete, frische Wäsche vom Bett auf den Boden statt in den Schrank, wenn er ins Bett geht. Und er ist 63 Jahre alt. Genug Zeit für Eric es zu lernen. Ein gesundes neues Jahr für die ganze Familie 2024. 😂
😂😂😂
Looks really nice! One easy cheap way that is renter friendly to make a kids room more fun is posters! They have all sorts of fun posters at 5 below and walmart if you think that’s something he’d like.
Love it
Remember ask, what do you want to keep, not what do you want to get rid of.
Looks great!❤
His room looks great!!
Excellent reset!
Happy New Year, Shannon. Great job on the room. He will have lots more room to play now. Can’t wait for the next one.🥰💜🥂🎉
Can’t wait to see the upstairs done
Great job! ❤
Awww! I love that he is setting up the system and bins himself!!!!! ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
It's actually something that helps kids to manage things on their own to have buy in. There is an extra function coach I follow on RUclips Seth Perler. He is great! Especially at teaching ways to help kids thrive at school or life in general who struggle with organization and stuff like that. He also has ADHD and gets it. He s
Does an executive function summit every year called TEFOS that so free when it is going on. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles themselves or has kiddos that do. He is a great caring person. Which I appreciate people with big hearts. 💗
Omg that baby boy is so so cute!! He was so excited setting up the blue cabinet!❤ the room looks great!! Happy new year Shannon!! 🥰🙏🏻😘
He is so lovely 🥰
It looks sooooo good!! Way to go!!! ❤
Great job! looks nice
Love the makeover. Eric must be so happy.
Very nice! I bet he loves it!!❤
Happy New Year!!! You got this!🎉
This is gonna be fun!! I'm inspired. Let's do this😁😘😘
You did a great job
I like the new series! Good job Mama!
Happy blessed new year Good start !!! Looks nice
WOW!!!!🎉 It looks amazing, such a great job ❤
I can’t wait to see this series! I love watching your vlogs! 🥰-Joanna
Happy New Year Shannon and family ❤😊
The room looks great! I do have one safety concern for you. Are the cords on the blinds the safety kind? You wouldn't want him getting tangled up in the old style ones and getting hurt. Keep on keeping on.
❤❤❤ love love-this was very good. Loved that lil guy helped so much. So happy!
Happy New Year! Love the room reset! Loved Eric's face as he was organizing the blue locker and especially loved him "hugging" the new rug! Can't wait for the next video in the series!
You go girl. You can do this.😅
Happy new year to you and your family looks amazing
Hi, Shannon. You are looking slimmer! Eric's room looks so good. He looks happy. I also agree with @StarrREVA, getting Erik into a "good night" tidy up, will teach him to be responsbile for his room. I am looking forward to your other "Home Tack Back" post.
We put a pvc pipe for under our couch so things don'tgo under it (connected three pieces to make a box-y letter 'u'). We painted it brown (same color as couch) and it's totally not noticeable.
So smart!
So excited to watch your progress. Happy New Year. I pray God gives you the health and energy to make 2024 the best for you and your family. Eric is so handsome. That smile brightened my day.
Thank you for those prayers. That is exactly what I need ❤️❤️
Yea!!! Love this, Shannon! Very excited for this series! And slaaaay gurl with the Brandon Lake shirt!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼😉✝️
Great job. This little boy is są cute and helpful. Sending hugs from Poland.
He is a cutie, but that's an out of control room, lol. I think you're right, a toy area, a hamper.
I'm desperately trying to help my youngest daughter and son-in-law to declutter and rotate toys. They have 3 boys (6, 4 and almost 2) and a smaller house. They just have too much stuff. Both are slobs (she takes after her dad, not me) and never put things back. I explained to her that everything should have z home and you MUST put everything away. Of course, my husband doesn't understand this concept either🙄 My oldest daughter is extremely neat and my son isn't too bad either.
💖💖💖
Great job! What if you do a room makeover in his room upstairs to help him to transition back up there, or at least get him thinking about it. Not that he has to sleep up there right away, but he may enjoy being up there more throughout the day and one day just decide that’s where he wants his room.
I recommend you implement a new family rule. Nothing under the bed. When the kids are told to go clean your room, putting stuff under the bed is not an option. And it should be checked weekly to make sure there is nothing under there. This will help you avoid big clean ups like you did today.
