How hoarding affects your family
Ask any child of a hoarder and they will tell you
how their lives are a dismal undertaking apart
from living in a home that is unpleasant to live
in as a result of clutter, there are also
inherent health risks that come with hoarding.
This is very true where there are children
because they are easily susceptible to injuries
and illnesses as a result of their parents
obsession. Hoarding cleaning can be of great help
to children of hoarders who may also benefit from
the cleaning services as well as the counseling
that will be of benefit to the entire family.

What most people dont realize is the fact that
hoarding is actually a psychological condition
that must be dealt with first. This is why the
typical behavior of a hoarder doesnt always seem
to make sense to people living around them this
is especially true with young kids who could grow
up believing that is how a normal home looks
like. Sometimes these hoarding tendencies are
brought about as a result of a traumatic incident
that took place sometime in the past while at
other times it could actually be the symptom of
an approaching mental illness such as
post-traumatic stress disorder or schizophrenia
care must be taken to deal with the underlying
problem first or else the cycle of hoarding and
hoarding cleanup will repeat itself.

situation is that while life is normally hectic
for all of us, to them it is doubly so in most
cases the most basic wants and needs of children
growing up in such homes will go unmet because
their parents are seriously preoccupied. Whenever
possible, children in such homes may need to be
taught how to communicate with their parents
about the condition of their homes. One possible
solution would be trying to create an area that
can be a place of refuge for the children this
can be somewhere like the childrens room or
other places where kids spend a considerable
amount of time.
