Dresser Drawer Knobs
Teenagers *& Moms: What would you do with a 14 yr old who didn't pick up her things?

My 14 yr old daughter who has learning disabilties & needs a *little* extra help; she leaves her things out in her room constantly. The only problem I have is that she has two younger siblings, who could possibly get hurt by her leaving out things such as small objects they could choke on, sometimes cleansers, scissors, etc. Just things that should not be left out where the kids could possibly get to. FYI her room is usually closed with a child-proof knob, however, it's still not acceptable for those things to be out where the kids can get to them. She can put these things on a dresser, in drawers, away where they are supposed to be.

I am at my wits end and want to just throw stuff away now.
I have tried taking the stuff I find and putting it in a bag until a month later, but she doesn't care.

Is it wrong for me to throw out her personal belongings? If you're a teenager, how would that make you feel? If you're a mom, any other ideas that have worked?

THANKS!!!

if she didnt have learning disabilities, I would say the above answers are ok. But because of that, NO!!!

You already mentioned that she doesnt notice/care when you do the bag thing.

Besides, her room is her personal area. You cant justify her having to clean up HER area for the convenience of the little kids that shouldnt be in there in the first place!! Dont let the little kids in there if they could get hurt!

heres what worked for me (a 16yo, forgetful male):

we cleaned up my room PERFECTLY and put EVERYTHING where it belongs. Then when I take stuff out, as soon as I am done I put it back. I know that sounds corny, but I can always find what I need, and I dont get in trouble for a messy room!
