Does your child refuse to let anything go? Do you constantly have power struggles with them about cleaning up their room? Dana K. White from A Slob Comes Clean and the author of the new children’s book Winnie’s Pile of Pillows is here to help!

We chat about how to end the power struggles with your kids, including using the container concept, the magic 5-minute clean up rule, having a “dream session”, and more!

Dana K. White is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books, including the new children’s book Winnie’s Pile of Pillows, geared for children ages 4-8. Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and videos at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com.
