Yelling or Bribing: Trying to coax or force your child into cleaning up, leading to frustration and resentment.
Threatening to Discard Belongings: Filling trash bags with your child’s items and threatening disposal if they don’t clean up.
Begging or Pleading: Attempting to negotiate or plead with your child to tidy up, often without success.
Trying to Do It for Them: Decluttering for your child, leading to dependence rather than teaching them organizational skills.
Dismissing Their Feelings: Overlooking your child’s resistance or lack of understanding about the importance of organization.
These approaches provide temporary results and often lead to strained relationships with your children.
