[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 67086, member: 84"] BBK You're right in breaking the mess down into steps. Once I discovered this concept with Travis, life was alot easier. Oh, and I ALWAYS had to supervise. (even now at 21) Otherwise he gets distracted and you can forget anything getting done. Now to avoid future messes..... This is what I did with mine. My kids loved those popcicles that come in the long plastic tubes. None ever seemed to make it to the trash when they were done. So I stopped buying them. Snack wrappers/candy trash, I stop buying it. Paper, artsy stuff.... nope don't buy it. (Nichole still makes a mess with it) When either Travis or Nichole dared not clean up their toys, they either got tossed, and if that didn't work.... they got locked away in a storage closet for a very long time. I Would then reintroduce according to how they'd clean up. Didn't cure the problem, but it did help. Hugs [/QUOTE]
