[quote=Anonymous]Probably 5? But the way we got there was by not having toys in their bedrooms. Clothes have always gone in the hamper, they’ve been able to do that since they could take their clothes off. Beds are made every morning (we helped until they could do it themselves). Before bed, everything is put away, so rubber bands go into the drawer in the bathroom, books are stacked neatly or put away, desks are cleared off (except for the things that always live on the desks). When we lived in temporary housing for a while and they shared a room and did have toys in there because there wasn’t room elsewhere, it was the same. They were 4 then. We just knew we had to either clean before dinner or allot extra time before bed. The key has always been having a place for everything. It’s not like they organize their stuffed animals or put their books in alphabetical order, but when you have bins or boxes or drawers for everything, it’s easy for them to put things away. [/quote]
