[QUOTE="Janna, post: 69330, member: 2737"] BBK, I still say take everything. She says she wants it that way? Good. Don't even say anything, just take it all. She's gonna want something. Eventually. Some time down the road. A week, two, three ~ she's gonna think "oh yeah, where's my ~whatever~. And when she wants it, she's not gonna get it. Why? Because her room isn't clean. I would get a piece of construction paper. Start it tomorrow (Sunday). Put 7 blocks on it for each day of the week. Leave nothing but clothing, bed, dresser in the room, and put that piece of paper on the wall/door/somewhere she can see it. Tell her for every day there are no clothes on the floor, she can have a star/sticker/whatever on the chart. For every (however many) days, she gets to earn something. I wouldn't make it a week to start. Too long. Say, 2 or 3 days, then over time, extend it a week. She doesn't pick up, she doesn't get anything. She picks up for a few days, earns something, then doesn't, she loses something she's earned. I don't think you need to detach. You need to discipline. That's all. Say what you mean, mean what you say, follow through. Ignore the crap in between. [/QUOTE]
