It goes without saying that raising children is no easy feat. Particularly when there are 11 of them!

But one TikTok user, who happens to be a parent of 11 kids aged between 1 and 21, has shared a hack with other moms and dads of large families - and she swears by the parenting technique.

In a video posted to the app, Veronica told her followers that she has assigned each of her children a specific color so that everyone knows which things belong to which member of the family.

The video was a response to a follower who wrote in a comment on a previous video: "What [are] the kids' colors? They are color-coded?"

Veronica told the commenter: "Yeah, so I color code my 11 kids. It just makes things easier for me. So most of their belongings - shoes, toys, clothes, blankets, and everything are in their special colors.

"I actually started the color-coding back when I only had one kid. It wasn't intentional at first, but it sort of just continued and I don't know, I really enjoy doing it. It doesn't necessarily mean it's their favorite color but it usually is."

The video has since received more than 1,300 likes and has been viewed over 40,000 times at the time of writing.

And a number of people have taken to the comments to praise the mom's technique, with many sharing that they too, use the color-coding method on their own children.

One TikTok user wrote: "Omg yes I did this for my 6 kids, it's amazing so helpful! Even dishes too, [you have] a beautiful family."

Another chimed in, sharing: "I do that too! Even though I have 3 kids lol my son of course is blue. Then my daughter is pink and I just had another girl and hers is purple."

A different social media user acknowledged how stressful it must be raising so many kids at one time. They wrote: "I can't imagine how hectic your life is. I only have 1 sibling and he has only 3 kids and his life can get kinda hectic so your life must be way worse."

While another TikTok commenter shared these lovely words with the doting mom: "I don't know you, but I'm proud of you and it's awesome that you were able to buy a house for you and your family. Take care."
