[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 156107"] It's going to have to be reward based, I think. difficult child is more stubborn than an ox and she won't care about losing things when she's in that frame of mind. been there done that. I remember when she was little - 4 maybe - and I told her if she didn't pick up her mess in the living room I was going to bag it up. She went and got a garbage bag, put everything in it and threw it in the trash. :faint: She hasn't changed much in that perspective. There has been little conversation between us today - just being civil. But, she cleaned her room all by herself without any prompting (and it was pretty bad). I think she's used to me 'walking on eggshells' and I'm not doing it today. When she made appearances last night I didn't say a word to her. I didn't do the over-chipper thing in the morning to try to make her feel better because she usually wakes up in such a foul mood. She's not 7 anymore. She's old enough to take responsibility for her treatment of others. [/QUOTE]
