[quote=Anonymous]I would spend 15-30 minutes a day helping her go through everything and clean it up.  Don't wait for her to do it as she may need you to go step by step.  Then for a few weeks help her maintain it by checking nightly and asking her to fix it and hopefully slowly back off.  Briber her if you can afford it with a quick update - new bedding, led lights, pictures/wallpaper/mural, new rug and make it fun.  Also, consider getting different shelving in the closet as the elfa can be hard to use.  And, maybe a tall dresser if it will fit in the room.

I go through my kids rooms 2-3 times a year depending on how much they grow with them and make them try on everything to keep/get rid of.  Then we neatly put it away.  Before bed I ask them to pick up the room and do a quick check (not looking for spotless but decent).

We have small rooms too.  Tall bookcases work well for the height (strap it to the wall for safety even if they are a teen).  Same with tall dressers to save space.  Or even shelving hanging from the wall above the dresser.[/quote]
