This is so hard...Good for you meaning what you say. This is so hard.<BR/><BR/> Another method I like to use is if I have to pick up your toys then I decide when they come out. Would you like me to pick them up or will you.You can choose. or your toys need to be away before bedtime/dinner/clock gets to 3 or I choose where they go.<BR/>I put the toys away but insight( plastic clear container on a shelf)<BR/>I find we don't get into the pick it up or me issuing threats. If he doesn't he sees the consequence. We work out how he can work to get the toy back...it also gives me a chance to see if he needs it back and what I should do. I refer to the toy sadly or he asks he can see it. It keeps the toys where he wants them- with him- usually. I do recognise though that sometimes you just don't want to pick up things. So my approach varies and so does the solution. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-58294908133246950902007-07-26T19:24:00.000-04:002007-07-26T19:24:00.000-04:00Great job!

He was very good about cleaning up and the consequence didn't have to be stated after a while. Then one day, he got a new toy and kept removing a piece that wasn't meant to be removed. After so many times, I told him I'd throw the piece away if he took it off one more time. He did. I did. I fully intended to replace it after he'd gone to bed, but I forgot and it was never seen again.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720538592229420776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-90133839656613536892007-07-25T17:24:00.000-04:002007-07-25T17:24:00.000-04:00Wow, do I admire YOU!Wow, do I admire YOU!Cherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837331091022554900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-17865841999746032922007-07-25T14:02:00.000-04:002007-07-25T14:02:00.000-04:00Woohoo!
