Gwynne + Devyn: Sisters Team Up

Maeve helps sisters gain skills needed to keep their books in order. #organizing

Maeve helps Gwynne and Devyn sort books into categories.

Before Maeve's Method

Gwynne and Devyn shared a #bookcase in a common family area that held a mix of books belonging to each sister and their parents. Neither sister felt responsible for any part of the bookshelf and so items tended to become stuffed in nooks and crannies.

While the sisters used the bookshelf, they mostly only noticed only a handful of #books, usually what they were reading at the time, or what they got from the library or as gifts. It had been years since they'd looked at most of the books on the shelves, unaware they still held baby books, or other household items like cookbooks on the shelves. #clutter

After Maeve's Method

Together, Maeve, Gwynne, and Devyn sorted through the books and created #categories according to each sister. As they worked, they each became more confident in their decisions. There were many books that neither of them thought of as theirs; Maeve helped them to realize that they had the power to decide what to keep as theirs, and that it was OK to let books go. #releaseandletgo

They learned how to communicate with each other on what they didn’t want to keep, and in the end, designated separate #shelves for their books and an area for shared books. And, when mom came by to help, they asked if it was OK to let go of books they no longer needed and got her support and approval. Maeve taught the family that it's OK to communicate about things that are no longer working, and that together, with open communication, they could find new solutions. #communication #kidpower

Open communication is the key to getting organized at home, for parents and kids.
