[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 44830, member: 84"] I have the same rule. Pick it up or it gets tossed. But I agree with Sheila. How does difficult child do with big tasks like this?? I can't just tell T to clean his room either. Oh, he may start out fine, but 2 mins later he's sitting down playing with something he's found. We used to have wars over this. Then he had his first visit to the neurologist. Neuro said, "Let me guess, T's room is a disaster, if you ask him to organize he just stares at you, if you ask him to do this, this , and this you might only get 1 this done if your lucky." You could've knocked me over with a feather. T cannot multi-task worth a darn. (even applied to homework) There is no teaching him how to do it. He simply can't period. Now that I had no trouble believing as I'd spent 13 yrs trying to do just that. Everything HAS to be broken down into steps. Then I have to give it to him 1 step at a time to get the tasks done. Have you tried to break large tasks like these into smaller more managable ones and see how she does?? I don't double punish. She already got the parade taken away for not cleaning. in my opinion if you also toss her stuff it's another punishment for the same deed. Hugs [/QUOTE]
