[quote=Anonymous]I’d make her show you for several months or more that she’s ready to have her own room. Maybe set up the new room as her hang out room but not make it a bedroom yet. Set the expectation for cleanliness and have her follow it independently for ser number of months before you consider making it into a bedroom. I’d also make a no electronics in the room and other highly preferred items. If shehad those let her keep them in her hangout room. Make the bedroom kind of boring. Clothes, bed, dresser geared towards sleeping. You can limit the amount of stuff she has by putting a limited amount of baskets or storage bins for her things and making it a rule that her things must fit into those bins. You essentially really need to think through the set up before you agree to anything. It’s better to slowly create that transition and instill good habits and create clear expectations before the fact that it is to deal with the repercussions of having none of these things and a child that’s always holed up in their room.[/quote]
