[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6 year old can clean her room from hurricane status to near spotless in about 30 minutes, because the room is laid out well, everything has a home, and she's been taught since around 2 that putting her stuff away is her job. So yes, "clean your own room" is certainly age-appropriate. That said, the reason my kid can do this at 6 is she's been asked, consistently, to do this, taught how, etc. It's not a foreign task to her. It's an everyday thing. You want to watch tv/play iPad/have treats/go to the ball? Clean your room first. Not the case in OP's story. Also? "Here, I'll help you. Oh, you're not doing it right, well cancel all the things, then. I'm out." is a pretty ridiculous, overdramatic, entirely ineffective parenting strategy. But the kid is the problem. Clearly. And we're asked to back up the OP's crap parenting.[/quote] +1 [/quote]
