[quote=Anonymous]Something we do is called “ten minute clean up”. I will put a timer on the microwave and we all participate in cleaning up for ten minutes. I like this way because it’s not threatening or overwhelming. There’s an end in sight and we are all actively participating. Another thing I personally do is have baskets for each of my kids. If I see something they left out, I put it in the basket. While my husband and I are making dinner, they are required to put everything away in the basket if they want a chance to earn some extra tv during dinner preparation. It works pretty well and I like that I don’t have to see all the extra toys laying around all day. [/quote]
