This simple operation will make it easier for parents and children at home

In the last year we have not had much control over how our or our children's lives go.

Once it closed, once another restriction.

But there's a place we control, and that's our home.

Everyone looks like that, yes?

Usually, in my lectures on a family atmosphere, I explain why home design, beautiful as it may be, is not as important as the design of the emotional atmosphere and the atmosphere of relationships in the home.

The feeling we parents produce in the home is more important than the furniture, colors or the way we design the look of the home.



But right now, in Corona, remodeling, arranging and organizing a home can have a huge impact on how we feel in our fortress.

One of the notable things that emerged following the closures in Corona was "Marie Condo scenes" - people renovating, arranging, throwing and folding.

Others consolidated, renovated, swapped rooms, bought a living room or invested in flower pots.

So true, for some of us there is time, but there is much more to it than that, there are hidden principles for life that we have applied consciously or unconsciously.



Here are some good reasons to tidy up, renovate and organize - from the outside in:

Family in Disorder: A special project on parenting in Corona

1. To change the atmosphere in the same house


even if the office has moved home and the rooms have been filled with a work atmosphere, sometimes, painting a wall to mark a corner or area of ​​pots, add order inside and define where you work and where it is a house.

When I need quiet and when I need time together.

Such a move will also allow the little ones to understand when mom or dad is "at work", and where to make a mess with the games or listen to music together.



2. Uncertainty vs. Uncertainty


How much uncertainty this period has entered our lives.

We have no control even if our child goes to frames tomorrow or not.

But change something at home we can, and it allows for a sense of control, even if it is in another area of ​​life.

Renovating the house or even reorganizing some closet allows us to fulfill dreams, small or large, as well as inserting a fitness device into the house, replacing curtains or changing the location of the furniture in the living room.

There is an idea or dream, which requires thought and planning, and it is an opportunity to bring in certainty in this state of uncertainty.

Because there are things we have control over yet.

Order at home helps to understand where to work and where to play.

Putting optimism and activity into


redesign will allow us to take our thoughts to a place of renewal, to a place where energies are filled in anticipation of something good.

Colors, plants, beautiful pillows or inspirational phrases can fill us with optimism and a good feeling.

Even if in renovating or arranging the house, we first become a mess, a moment before we become beautiful, we can focus on the idea of ​​change for the better, and this helps to deal with the pessimism that the period may flood us with.



4. The Principle of Choice


One of the things that enables mental well-being is the knowledge that we have a choice over many of the happenings in our lives.

This period confronts us with a lack of choice, with coercion, with restrictions.

And here again, renovating and arranging the house, allow us to think, what to choose, what to do with our time, to promote what desire we have for a while and get better with the atmosphere in the house.

Also the opportunity to demonstrate how we transcend our energies into beneficial doing.

5. Order in a hurry


When life suddenly seems like a rush, there is one place where we can make order and that is our home.

Order gives quiet, breathable air and soothes us.

It's not just that there are people who can not go to sleep when there are dishes in the sink.

Looking at our house neatly, undoubtedly allows for tranquility, exterior and interior.

Even if it's for a moment.



6. Small goals, big successes


Even if no dramatic change is made, every arrangement of corner, drawer, bathroom renovation, is a goal in itself, which when we succeed in accomplishing gives a sense of success and satisfaction.



Renovation, arrangement and organization are also a great opportunity to ask the children what they would like.

Share decisions with them, consult with them on ideas and even shoot a design plan with them: my room before and after.

Thus, giving them control over life as well.
