Re: Realistic Expectations of a 5 year old?

True, but she have to stick with it and be consistent and him wi dweet. Even if she have to keep reminding him for the first few weeks, @ least his stuff would be getting picked up an put away.

She can lead by example to...from she step in the house door, she tek off har shoes and put dem in her closet and request that he does the same.

When him brush him teeth or done play with his toys and going out or going to bed, a quick reminder to clean up or put certain things in their proper place will work too.

Plus there's always the clean up song

So effective Sunday we are going to have a chore chart with rewards and consequences ... He's gonna help me work it out tonight. Or maybe I am just hormonal and things arent as bad as they seem. </div></div>
