Giving Teens Space,,,

Now that I have a Tween myself at home and a Teen exchange student, I realize that they need some space.  Most teens want to be organized.  They want to accomplish a lot.  They just don’t know how to do it all.   Sort items into categories.  Group similar items.  Purge to reduce the quantity.  Keep only what you really use and love, and get rid of the rest.  Assign a home for items.  Decide on a shelf, drawer, bin or section of the closet for each category.  Don’t think of it as much as putting things away as much as setting up for the next use, so it’s there when you need it.
