[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 79388, member: 3419"] I will add, that you have to be very specific when telling a difficult child what "clean" means. difficult child has had numerous meltdowns because I simply pointed and told him to clean the whole thing. One day, the lightbulb went off, and I said, "Just pick up all the dirty socks. Then strip the bed." Much better response. Of course, picking up his baseball cards has always been an issue. He thinks it's normal to spread them all out like pieces to a puzzle. Problem is, they're on the floor! My dad, who has Alzheimer's, does the same thing--spreads everything out where he can see it, because he knows he'll forget if he files it somewhere. [/QUOTE]
