[QUOTE="Christy, post: 165884, member: 225"] Thanks for your input. I have decided to take away toys that are left on the floor after he goes to bed each night. I won't throw them out but I will make them off limits in the family room. He can still play with them in the playroom downstairs, perhaps that will be incentive to play in the playroom where stuff can stay out on the floor as long as he'd like. He did actually come downstairs and clean up this time :) Of course it's an ongoing thing and being asked to cleanup (or get ready for bed, brush his teeth, take a bath, get dressed, eat dinner, etc...) still leads to an angry outburst. HOWEVER not as destructive as a month ago so that's progress. On another note, We added back his furniture in his bedroom this weekend with the exception of his loftbed. He is happy to have his dresser and desk back and his mattress off the floor. Hopefully we can add some other things like books and display items but I don't quite trust his temper that far just yet. christy [/QUOTE]
