Kids thrive in safe and organized homes, where every object has its place. This week on Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella turns to business lecturer Dr. Taghreed Hikmet for advice on reining in clutter and staying tidy with little ones around.

Based at the Auckland University of Technology, Dr. Taghreed Hikmet is a senior lecturer in International Business Management, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy. Having co-written an article on The Conversation about home and kids organization, Taghreed is a dedicated professional with a rich background spanning over two decades in the business world. Impressively, she holds a Ph.D. and MBA in Operations Management and MBus, and has leveraged her knowledge from both ends to establish valuable connections.

In this episode, Dr. Taghreed Hikmet defines kids' organization as a system that teaches the young ones responsibility, elaborating that, for instance, lower shelving rather than high shelving makes items accessible to children. She reveals common safety hazards and various child developmental stages parents should know when organizing a home with the little ones in mind.

Together, Marie and Dr. Taghreed Hikmet discuss key organizational approaches that prove to be particularly effective for parents and children alike. So, tune in this week for kid-friendly parenting advice and clever storage solutions!
