How To Clean A Room @ http://www.thetidytutor.com Cleaning a room is easy when you employ good skills with daily planning and organizational skills

Emily and I went for a walk for something to eat for dinner. It was a beautiful February evening for New Jersey, it was not too cold at all. On the way home, I thought we could do a motivation Monday video on cleaning a room like organizing closets with closet systems.

One time about a year ago, Emily came into my room where I was just learning how to use the video equipment and lighting that I had purchased. She sat in front of the camera and started fooling around 
(her hair had just been shaved on one side and was really long on the other, I'm sure that had something to do with her desire to get in front of the camera.)

While she was there I stood behind her and said "Why don't we do a video about getting your room cleaned up or how to clean rooms?"  She playfully replied, "NOPE!"  We had a bit of a back and forth going on and it ended with her saying, "It sucks for them," meaning the other teens she would be an example for in getting her room cleaned up and learning real tips on organization.

Since then I received lots of emails asking me if Emily ever got her room cleaned up.  So I decided to do a video showing her room and bathroom.  She does keep it clean and tidy.  It certainly isn't perfect, 
but we don't care about perfect, we want happy and I wanted her to learn how to get motivated. 

From what I've seen, children are either a carbon copy of us or the exact opposite.  Emily is my clone.  She suffers from IGAD disease (I GOT ALL DAY) and really needs to be on the system that I teach to 
keep her act together whereas some people are asking to "help me get motivated".

I have noticed through the years that they really like having daily planning. Some kind of direction for what to do and when to do it, without being barked at or told continually.

In this video, we go into her room, I show her closet, where she does her artwork, her bathroom and her animals.  Good skills are habit we teach our kids, right?

So this should answer the questions I've been getting on about Emily how to clean a room : )

Much Love,
