[quote=Anonymous]I had a rule - no regular legos until 5yo. (Duplos were fine.) Kept the mess at bay for at least a year. Agree with the PP, no TV, we also don't have tablets, which was great until remote school and we had to get chromebooks. Not really a hack, but along the same lines of the folks that say teach your kids young to do certain things - be consistent about your expectations. If you want them to clean up every day before bed, you need to enforce it to the point where its not an argument or a hassle every day. I have boys, so this is easier, but I buy only certain colors of pants/shorts so that all of their clothes match. Each kid has lots of the same socks. They get one pair of shoes at a time (we don't need dress shoes) +boots or sandals, but far fewer shoes to store by the front door and/or find. [/quote]
