**ANGRY & ADVICE** How do YOU get them to do something?

I'm not sure about 2 but DD who just turned 5 is expected to pick her things up, same with DS 9.

I take things off them if their rooms aren't cleaned before bed every night. I explain to them that they only need what they can look after and get rid of anything old/broken/do doesn't get played with.

We had a few troubles along the way but for the last 4-5wks they are cleaning their rooms every night before bed without any fuss.

With a 2yo I would be picking things up with them instead of leaving them to do it, I think they would find it easy to get distracted.

For us the key was doing it every day, so it was repetitive and it formed a habit.
