What's the big deal?



Home chaos makes life more difficult for the entire family. Adults tend to be more stressed in disorganized environments.  They deal with chronic fatigue, and depression,  and tend to react more negatively to children.  Children who live in chronically chaotic environments have a harder time regulating their behavior, lack social competence,  and often do poorly in school.
