[quote=Anonymous]I'm 35 and this is still hard for me! Knowing that helps me have grace for my kids. Identifying what the exact problem is will help you to solve it. Is it that the correct location to put things is difficult to access, do they forget where it is, do they know where it is? Is another option just easier? Is it timing? Figure out the root problem. Others suggested fining them and having consequences. That seems extreme, however could be effective if used short term (though id lean a reward instead) as its hard to set new norms without having some additional external incentive. "It can be hard to create new habits, in addition to the changes XYZ that I made to the environment, we are going to have a week long challenge where everyone in the family who keeps the hallway perfect gets to have a special movie night" (or whatever incentive) I would lean away from adding doors, that's putting more of a barrier between the desired action.[/quote]
