[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take a different approach to this. I’d buy some labels or painters tape (and a sharpie) and I’d label the cleaning products. I.e. toilet, sink, mirror/windows. I’d set it up so that he could easily determine the purpose of each product, even when I am not present. I’d also create a list of foods that my kid could eat. In bold at top, DC needs three items on their plate. Choose one from: list main items. Choose two from: list fruit, veggies, other smaller items. Text it to him and tape it inside a kitchen cabinet where the plates are kept. I understand that it is more work initially, and it can be frustrating that you have to do this, but I’d address it by letting him know that I made it easy for him. I’d also just let the vacuuming go. I’m also a big believer in praise. If he does then clean the bathroom, or feed your child a balanced meal, thank him. Praise him. I anticipate that people are going to jump on this and say that it is ridiculous that you have to praise him for doing something he should be doing, but I do believe that [b]you get more flies with honey!

I’ve never understood this phrase because I try to kill every fly I see. [/quote]
