A clutter-free environment that nurtures creativity and reinforces independence in children is key to supporting their development. So, join us this week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, where host Marie Stella is guided by doctor-turned-KonMari consultant Dr Aparna Chari Sundar.

On a valiant mission to help parents create peaceful family connections in their homes, Dr. Aparna—a mum of two herself—understands the challenges of finding the balance between providing children with the best learning materials and maintaining an organized home. She’s also a Montessori educator, currently pursuing her master's in Education in Developmental Psychology.

In this episode, Dr. Aparna shares that employing easy-to-reach tubs behind closed doors, categorized by toy type, tends to be effective in supporting children in their daily cleanup while maintaining a neat aesthetic. That aside, she offers advice for parents with reservations about kickstarting an elaborate decluttering process at home. Together, Marie and Aparna discuss how to involve children in home organization and household chores.

So, whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply seeking inspiration for a more organized home, tune in for insightful techniques on designing functional yet attractive play areas that support children's development!
