49 | 8 Decluttering Questions Every Mom Needs for Kids’ Bedrooms

Written By Megan Smith

How to Declutter Your Kids’ Bedrooms

Kids’ bedrooms have a way of turning into toy stores, laundry piles, and mystery collections all in one. Even when everything’s technically “put away,” the space still feels overwhelming. You’ve got toys multiplying like rabbits, laundry that never makes it to the basket, hidden snack wrappers stuffed behind the bed—and suddenly, it feels easier to just shut the door and ignore it.

And when you’re a mom already juggling schedules, meals, and a million little decisions every day—and maybe ADHD is in the mix too—those rooms can feel like they tip you over the edge. It’s frustrating, it’s constant, and it’s exhausting.

That’s exactly why I created The Decide Guide—to give you simple questions that make it easier to know what stays, what goes, and how to actually make a space work for your family. In this episode, I’m walking you through the Decide Guide questions for kids’ bedrooms.

These prompts will help you reset their space without the overwhelm, teach your kids decision-making along the way, and give you back the mental breathing room you’ve been craving.
