[quote=Anonymous]If your child is stashing food waste in his room, schedule a regular clean up time with him. "It's time to go clean up the food in your room." Gently. Normalize it. Hand him a paper sack or a trash bag. "Go bring out all food trash in your rooom, everyone." You are making this into such a huge, scary, abnormal, evil behavior that he is hiding the behavior from you and it is turning into a cascade effect. He knows even eating an apple in his room -- OH THE HORROR! -- is againt the rules so he hides the core. Then he hides a candy wrapper. And so on. Stop it with the witch hunt. Normalize the behavior. Normalize the clean up. Make it a rule and ask him to follow through. Stop witch hunting, OP.[/quote]
