[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 198070, member: 5957"] Hi, Another option I thought of would be to give a reward when she DID pick up and put back rather than a reducing of the allowance for non-compliance. I know you said you don't give her much and don't have much TO give. Maybe if you then did coupons or chips/stickers/points to her on a daily basis. Like-"If you do not have any clothes on your floor you will earn a chip today. If at the end of the week you have accumulated 5 chips or more you will get to watch a video" or some other special thing that works for your family. A personal story on topic-My ds came to me yesterday morn and said he had no pants. Now this was not because I hadn't washed any, but because there were none that fit him. We have a system in which I "recycle" clothes when they are getting too small. My kids have nice school clothes (regular stuff no uniforms) and play clothes. The play clothes are the things that are slightly stained, or just a bit too short pants that I would not let them wear to school. They still fit in waist but are just short. I don't see why they can't wear these for play and get them dirty and all because they aren't "worn out" yet. So, I had to go into his closet and get the NEW pants I had bought for school that DID fit him. But now I realize that I have to try on ALL of his pants, because I think some of the play clothes are getting too small in the waist and he only has 3 pairs of NEW pants. Why he didn't/doesn't tell me his pants don't fit though is a complete mystery!! [/QUOTE]
