How do I get my 10 year old boy with ADHd ( can't tolerate meds) to pick up his room? I'm not super strict about it or a neat freak, I've shown him before what do to. I reminded him there's 3 things to sort, things to keep, things to donate, things to trash. He won't even try he yells at me and slams his hands on the table saying he sucks at organizing and he can't do it.. there is stuff everywhere in there. Clean clothes he throws them under his bed, behind his bookshelf, and on his closet floor. So I told him you fully understand what needs to be done and you won't even try ...this is part of personal responsibility so if you refuse, you are unpluged and not playing outside, and when baseball starts your not going unless your rooms fixed. I'm not super strict about it but clothes can be put away in the proper places and bed made , stuff out on his book shelf or in cabinets... am I right? I really don't think he doesn't get it he just doesn't want to do it. He yelled at me but when he saw I won't back down he went into his room. I hope he's working on it now and not playing instead, I will check on him in a few. He can have breaks if he's really truly working on it too, I just don't like this "I suck at organizing so I can't do it" crap. Any tips or advice? Thanks : )
