[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 250144, member: 3419"] Would it help, if, when you ask him to vacuum, you actually walk on the floor he is going to vacuum, and say, "This carpet is what I want you to vacuum, and especially these smashed cornflakes and white and black dog hair," and touch the furniture? It works very well for us. I have to make sure I don't use a baby-talk voice or it will really tick off my difficult child. I have to sound authoritative. Like a teacher, nice but strong, Know what I mean?? Also, g*d forbid I should accidentally say "These crumbs" and point, but not point to ALL the crumbs. I have to sweep my arm across and say, "All the crumbs. Every crumb you see in this room. And then put the vacuum cleaner away." Even with-my easy child, I had to tell her to take the clothes out of the dryer before she put another load in the washing machine, to keep it going. You've got to wonder sometimes. [/QUOTE]
