Helping your child pack their childhood bedroom

Summer brings warm weather, graduations, and new beginnings. Many graduations take place in the months of may or june. Graduations are an ending and a beginning of an era in a person’s life. There are many major decisions that are made in the months leading up to and the months after this momentous occasion. In most cases your child will be moving out of the house and starting to live their own lives. They will need to pack up their belongings and figure out what is going with them, what should be placed in storage, and what is going to be thrown away. Summer gives you the time to help your child go through their room and help them figure all that sorting out. 

This project can be a big undertaking. Packing a childhood bedroom takes time. There are so many little mementos and pieces of your child’s childhood that they will want to keep. The process can be very nostalgic and bittersweet as they may never live in your home like that ever again. You can bond with your kid as you spend time helping them get ready for the next stage of their life. 

Label every box you pack, writing the contents of the box and where it should be going. These labels will help you stay organized and can lessen any stress caused by this project. Once all of the boxes have been packed they can be moved to their respective places, a Storage San Mateo CA storage unit, their new apartment or home, or a closet/storage room in your home. There will also most likely be garbage bags that can be thrown away. If there are usable items that are not going to be kept, take them to a local charity and donate them. Once everything is packed you can enjoy your summer vacation with your kid.
