[quote=Anonymous]PP again -- also, for the borderline hoarding situation it sounds like your son has going on…. One thing that really to get kids to give things up is to take EVERYTHING out of their room (except furniture) and move it to another part of the house. Then clean the room top to bottom. And only bring back in what he wants and loves. So often kids are just lazy and don't want to go through the effort of sorting through their stuff. But if you take everything out, the default becomes, they don't have the stuff in the room. They have to exert effort to get stuff back IN. Suddenly they don't care so much about it any more. If it is worth it to them to have all their old school papers, they can go get them but then they have to put them away in a proper location. Anything they don't care enough about to put away in a proper location after a certain point, you will take care of for them by filing in the circular file.[/quote]
