How can decluttering be taught as a life skill for homeschoolers?

Wendy’s Answer:

Decluttering can absolutely be taught as a life skill, especially in homeschool environments where learning is flexible and personalized.

For homeschoolers, decluttering isn’t about perfection or minimalism. It’s about:

  • Learning decision-making

  • Building independence

  • Reducing overwhelm

  • Creating systems that support daily routines and learning

When children learn how to organize their space, supplies, and responsibilities, they’re also learning executive-function skills they’ll use for life.

I work with families to teach decluttering step-by-step in a way that respects neurodivergence, learning styles, and emotional regulation.
