I just the other day had lunch with a friend and he said my son is just a slob.

I mean his room is a mess and I it's just I think I have to talk to him now his son is like 25 years old and

living with them so there is a little bit of a conversation that has to happen I'm

John Fuller along with Dr Danny Werta who heads up our parenting

team and Danny cleanliness is not next to godliness but there are some people that just can't or won't keep a space clean.

Yeah, no, my son, Alex, he struggled with having a clean room early on.

He was very sentimental with what he he

know so he wanted to hold on to everything and and didn't really have a picture of

how to organize a room early on and my daughter did and now it's kind of flipped around a little bit and it's it's interesting to see when kids struggle with this the reasons why and sometimes it can be a disorganized child a child that that's distracted, and things just go all over,

you need to help them learn how to focus, right?

How to focus and organize.

You may have some kids that want to save everything.

They're hoarders.

They don't want to throw anything away.

You need to help them learn how to break free from the anxiety that comes with holding on to things.

Then you have some kids that just don't care. They're just sloppy. They don't care about, they have no awareness that they're stepping all over clothes and food and things in

their room and those you want to help them have more awareness and and respect for

things that they own and have. So each child is going to have a different need

and a different reason as to why their room

tends to be in disorder.

So go into that with your kids.

Ask them, hey, what is it that you see here? What would a clean room look like to you?
