Messy Rooms Have Benefits Too! Psychologists Reveal 3 Outstanding Skills from Disorder
Parents, stay calm before scolding your children for a messy room. Psychologists reveal that 3 outstanding skills from disorganization might actually help children develop positively!
In adults' eyes, children should have clean rooms, wear appropriate clothes, and maintain personal hygiene. Parents often complain immediately when seeing their children's messy rooms, but their sense of orderliness might differ from their children's.
Psychologists found through research that children who don't like organizing their rooms isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, children with messy rooms often have three distinctive skills:
Skill 1: Creativity
The ability to break rules shows exceptional imagination and strong creative thinking. From a young age, children seem confined to predetermined frameworks. Children brave enough to break rules can defend their ideas, implement their thoughts, and prove their actions are correct, regardless of gender.
Skill 2: Big Picture Focus
They don't waste energy on unnecessary details. Children succeed only when they are committed to what they consider important. In their eyes, a messy room might be their most comfortable space. While adults see chaos, children can easily find what they need in an unorganized area.
Skill 3: Proactive Thinking
Children's rooms are often messy because they might be thinking about something else unconsciously and act quickly, forgetting to clean up. Their minds aren't focused on tidying. Childhood is the most creative period of human life, and children with messy rooms often have sharper thinking skills compared to their peers.
