"A few specialty products can help kids keep their lives organized with a minimum of fuss and effort on their part. The key is to make the process as fundamental and clear as possible. A backpack hook seems an unlikely aid in a child&amp;#039;s bedroom, but it can help keep your child focused on his or her studies (and keep the backpack clean and neat in the process). Attach a hook near the door to the room. Before the child can hang the backpack on the hook \u2014 where it&amp;#039;s supposed to go \u2014 he or she has to empty the contents. This will prevent forgotten homework assignments that would otherwise be balled up at the bottom of the backpack. It also avoids the mess of a week-old, half-eaten sandwich or a rotten, squashed banana. Hanging organizers are the best use of a closet rod \u2014 and they can be hung from the top of a door or the bottom of a wire shelf if you&amp;#039;ve removed the rod. These organizers are canvas columns of compartments that can be used to store a wide range of items, from clothes to shoes to stuffed toys. They are especially useful for helping kids keep clothing, school gear, and other important items straight. Label each compartment in the organizer with a day of the week. Small children can keep each day&amp;#039;s clothes in the compartments so they&amp;#039;re ready to go in the morning. Older kids can use the organizer to keep homework assignments straight, school projects in one place, and the right gear or musical instruments ready for the day they&amp;#039;re needed.
