Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, founders of The Home Edit, advocate for a simplified organization approach to prevent homes from becoming messy due to children's belongings. They share personal experiences, revealing different levels of success with their children in maintaining order. Shearer employs a tough love approach, threatening to donate items left out, emphasizing respect for belongings. Teplin echoes this sentiment, citing the satisfaction derived from an organized space. Their philosophy embodies a balance of discipline and the pursuit of a serene home environment.
The thing is, literally, if anything is out of place, I'm like, 'Well, I'm going to donate it.' I assume you don't like it.
If they're laying around, you're clearly not respecting them, so we'll give it to someone who will.
There's nothing more glorious than just opening a drawer and it's like everything exactly where it should be.
I don't even let them own enough things to get messy because I can't have it in my house.
