Enhance Education,
Success and Happy Relationships!
Applying Feng Shui to a child’s bedroom creates
an inspiring environment that
fosters enhanced education, success, and happy relationships with parents, siblings, and others.
However, before you apply the below Feng Shui enhancements to the bedrooms of your children, it’s important that you bring them into the process. Start by discussing the benefits of a clutter-free, organized and inspiring bedroom environment; and then get their permission and full participation. After that, work together to design short and long term plans for creating and maintaining an inspiring bedroom environment that will empower them to thrive in all aspects of life.
However, before you apply the below Feng Shui enhancements to the bedrooms of your children, it’s important that you bring them into the process. Start by discussing the benefits of a clutter-free, organized and inspiring bedroom environment; and then get their permission and full participation. After that, work together to design short and long term plans for creating and maintaining an inspiring bedroom environment that will empower them to thrive in all aspects of life.
Here’s your action plan for this project:
1. Remove clutter. Partner
with your children to support their efforts to clear jammed closets and
drawers. Encourage them to remove toys, games, books and clothes no
longer suitable for their age. To make this process simple and most effective,
provide them with three boxes, 1) items for donation, 2) recycling and 3)
trash. Creating space and visual openness helps your child sleep better and
feel much more rested, which will lead them to be happier and more productive.
2. Teach organization skills
and maintenance methods. Provide
storage systems, a laundry basket and trash can so that children can easily
organize and store items, without having to leave them on their beds, desk’s
and floors. These simple and practical measures will inspire and motivate your
children to keep their bedrooms clean, clutter-free and organized
resulting in fewer chores for you!
3. Create an inspiring bedroom environment. Make sure there is adequate lighting in the bedroom. Also, bedrooms that
are painted dark colors create too much oppressive energy. Bright colors, such
as yellows, light greens, soft lavender and pinks are good energy and inspiring color choices. Add inspiring
and motivational posters and art to the child’s bedroom!
4. Bed choice and placement in the
bedroom. Make sure your child can see the door from his or her bed
easily, but is not in direct line of the door. Bunk beds are not
optimal. Children must have room to grow and the bed overhead
exerts pressure on the child below. Because there is empty space below them,
children on the top bunk may feel less secure. If possible, try to have a
separate bedroom for each child. If this isn’t possible, there are many
decorative ways to create division and privacy within a room for each child.
5. Establish a space for study and
accomplishments. Having a dedicated space,
including a desk and lamp where your child can study demonstrates to your child the importance you place on education, your
child’s success and achievement. Display awards, trophies, and tests with good
scores in the child’s bedroom.
6. Praise your children
often. Throughout
the transformation process and afterward, praise
your children often. The practice of this amplifying self-esteem gesture
will make them feel good, loved and appreciated, and will also encourage and
motivate them to maintain a clean, clutter-free, organized and inspiring
bedroom environment for years to come.
7. Lead by example for your children. Children are like mirrors, reflecting
everything that happens in their environment. The examples you
set have a significant impact on their present and future development and
aspirations. Keep your home environment,
clean, clutter-free, organized and inspirational.
Have fun with your children
and enjoy the process!
