All people remember their childhood bedroom. Our environments stay with us, and when we have the chance to define a space as our own, we become attached to that space in important ways. And, in fact, our connections to such spaces might be even more important than we realized.
That’s why your child’s bedroom really matters. It’s not just a place for your child to sleep at night. Their room is their safe space, a place away from the sometimes confusing and scary world of adults, school, and even friends. A child’s room is the place to show their personality. It’s where children learn to keep spaces clean and to use spaces to their fullest potential. And we, as parents, are responsible for helping our children define, use, and maintain their rooms in ways that are healthy and good for their development.
