Your home is full of systems—but your kids still leave stuff everywhere. What gives?

In today’s episode, we dive into why kids don’t automatically respect shared spaces (spoiler: it’s not because you’re doing it wrong), and how to train them with rhythms—not more rules.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace. And peace starts with one rhythm that sticks.

• Why bins and labels aren’t enough to make systems work
• The real reason kids don’t see mess like we do
• How to start training responsibility (even if you feel behind)
• 2 game-changing rhythms that transformed our home
• What to do when your kids resist routines

Teaching kids to respect your systems is a long game—but it’s one that pays off. Start small. Stick with it. And watch your home breathe again.
