[quote=Anonymous]Another suggestion - make the room work for her, not her work for the room. Piles of things are what goes? Okay -- get a big, pretty bin for the sweatshirts. Then they all go in there. No more folding, no more falling, everything is contained.

A lot of time - not necessarily with your DD, but maybe - laundry is just SO many steps. Sorting, washing, transferring, drying, folding, putting away... If she can dump clean clothes into bins designated for things, that might make it easier. Or get her two laundry bins, one for clean and one for dirty. It might be stressful to you to think about, but you're not trying to make it perfect -- you're trying to make it more functional than what it is now. Happy to elaborate on what worked for us if you want.

Unsure if this applies, but I would also remind the difference between messy and dirty. Clothes on floor? Fine, doesn't hurt anyone. Food trash and leftovers sitting out? Attracts bugs and smells, needs to be sent to kitchen. The flipside of this is embracing that messy is okay and she's not a bad person if things get messy.[/quote]
