Tips for Cleaning Your Teens Room

How do you organize your life? What goals do you have? “The 7 Habits of highly effective teens” by sean covey talks about skills you can use to set these goals and organize your life. The first 3 habits of the book have to do with being proactive and setting goals/priorities and achieving those goals.

For centuries, teenagers have fought with their parents over the amount of freedom they should have. Parents always fight to reel in their child’s freedom, while teens argue that they need more privileges. While parents certainly have an argument in protecting their kids from the big, scary world, ultimately teenagers need to be exposed to the dangers of everyday life in order to prepare them for entering it on their own. If they have no real-life experience, they cannot be expected to handle it well when they leave their parents’ houses. In order to teach kids responsibility and life skills, kids should be allowed freedom to work and be out on their own, but have certain restrictions on a case-to-case basis in terms of curfews and household obligations.

For those of us that are parents, we know that raising a child to adulthood is not an easy task but one which we do lovingly (hopefully) and responsibly. I’ll go out on a limb to say here that everyone agrees that the teenage years are the most challenging. The general consensus is that teenagers are unruly, aggressive, careless, spoiled and dependent on technology. On the other hand, I believe along with a small group of other parents that teenagers are also brilliant and in the process of becoming and reaching their potential and that they deserve much more respect than what they are given.

When you picture a teenager you picture fighting, drinking, or answering back, am I right? However, this is simply not the case. Sure there is the minority of trouble makers. However this minority is exaggerated due to the news showing only this behaviour. This stereotyping has found its audience and crept into television shows and series. This has led to the creation of a mockumentary called “Summer Heights High” which has unfairly represented teen

Identify the technique in dealing with teens and pre-teens. Pretend you are the parent in these situations.

The entire building was split into two classrooms. Based on my observation I assumed that they were split into age groups. Overall, the room and the outside area where my observations took place were nicely organized and family-friendly. The classroom was divided into two sections with different floor types; a wooden floor and a carpet floor. The wooden floor side of the room had multiple designated areas. The biggest area was an eating area which is where the children could have lunch on chairs and tables adjusted to their size. Another area was where the children could wash their hands, this part of the room consist of paper towels, soaps, mirrors, and a sink. To the left of the sink there was a first aid kit with a fire extinguisher. To the right of the sink there was the restroom door, the restroom consisted of multiple toilets next to each other. The restroom also connected to the other classroom. The wooden floor side also had backpack/jacket hangers for the kids along with

The problem in my small-town community is that there is nothing to do for not only teens, but all ages. Teens today are often at risk of abusing substances, getting into trouble, and causing violent scenes. They also are still trying to discover who they are, what interests them, who to hang around with, and just discover themselves. An issue people debate about is the actions that teens choose to do. Many teens often hangout in groups at variety locations such as houses, parks, the mall, and other places such as an activity center. Although

Close doors and windows and try to get the children out of the premises by normal routes.

Teenagers, you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them as we have heard many times before. Teens are the future to come and we need to take advantage of reaching out to this special population and invest our time and energy in this vibrant generation. It is very important to have staff up to date on the latest new trends such as new resources that are available to help continue keeping strong teen services in our libraries. As quickly as new trends come and go we as staff members need to keep evaluating our teen services regularly. Teens are quick to question and judge the authenticity of individuals and are easy to walk away from an environment that makes them feel unwelcomed. Staff members need to create a mentor relationship

I felt as though many of my expectations going into this assignment were different than what I actually witnessed. It is probably due to the short observational period, rather than an indicator of “the new-norm” in adolescent behavior, or profound luck at observing the only two well-behaved teenagers in the state. Therefore, my take-away from this assignment is that I have preconceived notions of expected teenage behavior, that I have constructed from my time with my own children. I expected too, to see more activity than I did.

All of our lives, we've been told to stay organized. Organization has always been linked to success and less stress. Whether at home or at school organization is something that has been taught to almost everyone since we were born. So which is better? A clean room or a messy room. Some would say that a clean room is better than a messy room. I disagree with that statement. While a clean room does have it's advantages a messy room helps you flourish in mind and soul. Sure, the state of your room may represent how your mind works but disorderliness isn't always bad. There are 2 types of messy: cluttered or just dirty. While clutter shows personality and possibly creativity, a dirty room is very negative and is not helpful in any way. Disorderly rooms looks bad to the people who don't own them but the people who made it that way feel at home when in their room. Consider this from Albert Einstein, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?” He looked unkempt and was reportedly messy in his personal life, but was certainly a creative genius. Einstein wasn't alone. Mark Twain, too, had a cluttered desk. Perhaps even more cluttered than that of Albert Einstein. Mark Twain was one of the most imaginative minds of his generation.One university got a bunch of students to sleep in specific rooms half messy and half clean. After a few days in the dorms the research conductors asked the students to give ideas on how to decorate a ping

Just the other day I walked into his room and saw his homework AND a banana peel crumpled in the bottom of his backpack (I’m sure you other moms have experienced this too ). I was immediately angry and thought about punishing Jimmy to have him clean up his act, but I remembered something I read on Metro Parent Daily. According to Dr. Robert Epstein, an author on teenage behavior, “Teens are young adults, not children. Picture your teen as a young boarder in your home. How would you treat him or her if he or she were a slob?” This really made me think about alternative ways to motivate Jimmy to stay organized, which is a daily struggle in many households. Gil and I eventually decided to take him to Target to have him pick out some cute containers, boxes, and a nice desk to set him up a study area in his room. This has been extremely effective in keeping his stuff together and since he chose it, it’s more likely to have him actually use it since he likes

The teenage years are full of trials and tribulations for everyone. Adolescents are often forced into learning new social roles, developing new relationships, getting used to the changes in your body, and making decisions about their

In order to get organized; you need to get rid of any unwanted items that are laying around, such as garbage, dirty dishes, and of course dirty clothes. Once you get all of these items in their designated spots, you will be left with only the items that actually belong in your bedroom. From there you would begin to start putting these remaining items in their proper place. I would suggest to start with folding all of your clothes and getting them put away in either your dresser or closest because your clothes often times take up the most space. Then you can focus on all of the other random things that are scattered about.

Teenage is a fundamental stage of life that each human being passes through. Some people face this period of their life strongly and positively, while others face many problems and difficulties. This depends on the environment these young adults live in, their parents, their friends, their living conditions, their education, and many other factors. Teenagers face many problems such as becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol, being influenced negatively by their peers, self-image and weight, or even arguments with their parents
