Clutterbuster’s Excerpt…..
19. Take control of children’s artwork
Children often create a lot of artwork, especially at school. Even with strict organizing schedules, it’s easy for their art to get out of control, especially if you want to keep all of it. To help, “consider spending a minute or two with your children to talk about their artwork,” notes Gari Julius Weilbacher, decluttering coach and owner of Wild Brook Coaching. “Then, place it in a designated area that you consistently rotate throughout the year, only keeping both of your favorite pieces.”
While it would be great to be able to keep all of your child’s artwork forever, it’s not practical or necessary. Betsy Fein, CEO of Clutterbusters!!, suggests minimizing clutter by following the “Three F Rule:”
- Frame: Some outstanding pieces of artwork deserve framing.
- Flush: No need to keep random scribbles or works that don’t meet your standards.
- File: Not all art is frameworthy, but it may not be flush-worthy either. Keep those items that demonstrate talent and those you may someday decide to frame.
You can use this method if you or another household member also likes to create art. Be reasonable and stay aware of your attachment to individual pieces of art.
