KIDS' ROOMS
■ Go through the kids' clothes and footwear and donate items they've outgrown or won't wear. Toss the truly worn-out stuff.
■ Do the same with books, toys and games the kids have outgrown or lost interest in.
■ Provide appropriate storage. Open baskets and small containers make more sense than closed boxes (kids won't lift the lids) or one giant toy box (small parts and pieces get lost).
■ Provide a stepstool in the bathroom so kids can reach the sink.
■ Install an automatic faucet in the kids' bathroom: Water runs when they hold their hands under the faucet, shuts off when they remove them. No faucets left running, no difficulty turning the handles. (You can program the temperature to avoid scalding.)  >>next page
