[quote=Anonymous]If 21:52 is you, OP, I think the problem is that cleaning up after themselves isn't an expectation. As soon as they push back, your are offering a reward for doing it (e.g. texting a friend for a playdate). My kids are 3 and 6, and there is no reward for putting their toys away. There are consequences if they don't put them away. If this hasn't been the norm in your house to-date, you might need to have a family meeting to say this is the new expectation...but I don't think, if you are consistent, it's unsalvageable.[/quote]
