Environments in the home
There are two important things to keep
in mind in organizing a child's environment
in the home. Have a place in each room for
the few, carefully chosen child's belongings:
By the front door a stool to sit on and
a place to hang coats and keep shoes.
In the living room a place for the child's books
and toys-neatly, attractively organized. Think
out the activities and the materials for all
living spaces and arrange the environment
to include the child's activities.
Don't have too many things. A few shelves with
baskets or trays holding toys that are being
used at the moment are sufficient. It is a good
idea to rotate-taking out those books and
toys that have not been chosen lately and
removing them to storage for a time.
Children grow and change and they
need help to keep their environment
uncluttered and peaceful.
