Question

My 9 year old son dose not clean up after himself . ?

Answer 1

Please provide examples...

If he makes messes, tell him that he is grounded until it is cleaned to your satisfaction.

Answer 2

Try making a chore chart (ie: puts his dishes in the DW=sticker; makes his bed=sticker; etc).  If he gets a certain amount of stars by the end of the week reward him with something that works best for you and you family.  Maybe a small toy, or a fun trip to the park or a family dinner out.  Good luck.

Answer 3

My 9 year old can't remember to do things like picking up after herself either. Our doctor said his son just turne 10 and also has this issue. I guess you just have to keep reminding him for the time being... Maybe to say its a stage. Keep on him and do not do it for him.

Answer 4

Tell him if he doesn't clean up, hes punished. Everytime he does clean up, award him for some time- but make sure hes doing it the proper way

Answer 5

try to make cleaning up fun. think of games or activties that make him clean. or you can try rewards if he cleans up after himself. like take him for ice cream by him a cheap toy something like that. thats how i get my younger brohters and sisters to clean. im the oldest and my arents arent always home so im prertty much the mom around her. and they like it when  help them clean and make it fun with rewasrds and activites.

Answer 6

CONGRATULATIONS...........HE'S NORMAL..!..!

Only girls do that..........

Answer 7

He may be normal, but that doesn't mean that he still doesn't have to clean up after himself! It just means that it's more for you to keep up with for now!!! When you see something that needs doing, tell him he needs to ...whatever it is. If he doesn't do it, the TV goes off, or the game gets taken away, or whatever he's doing or wants at the time. As soon as the task is completed, the TV goes back on. It's amazing how quickly they will do what you want when you take something away that THEY want!!! I use this ALL the time with my grandsons. I'll say, time for a shower.. Not yet... click goes the TV or Wii.... a few groans and then it's into the shower! Or, put the toys away before dinner... We'll do it later... sorry, no dinner til it's done... we're hungry... when the toys are put away you may eat.... a few more groans and the toys get put away. The deal is, is you HAVE to stick to what you say every time. It works for all ages (I'm a nanny- right now for a 2 &5 yr old and my grandkids are 12, 5 &3) Good Luck!

Answer 8

I don't know but I think it is just boys.  Try not to yell at him and let him help you do something without telling him how you do it.  I notice things can be done the same way by doing it different ways. tell him it is not fair that you have to clean for the family always, when you are cooking and doing laundry and such.
