[QUOTE="mattsmum, post: 67119, member: 3532"] One possible option. Money motivates my difficult child. Although my husband and I believe that children should have chores that they have to do (like making their beds)...I tried something new and it helped. I came up with a job chart for both kids. We kept it simple. For every chore they did, I would initial their chart. For every chore they did not do, I drew a sad face. Every Saturday, they would get $2 allowance...minus 25 cents for every sad face. However, I think having "clean your room" on there would be too overwhelming. I would start small...like "put away your Barbie Dolls." I also agree with what someone else posted...box away a lot of her stuff and start small. Just have a few things in her room and help her every night to put them in their place. Once she shows responsibility with that, you can add more. I bought some great plastic drawers at BIG LOTS that really helped my kids to get organized. [/QUOTE]
