But I think getting a child to clean their own room requires several things to happen...
Firstly, the parents must set a good example, I;ve seen parents rooms that are messier than their child's.
Secondly, everything has it's place, have plenty of shelves, cupboards etc, I use stakable plastic crates for my sons toys.
Thirdly, no junk, no clutter, dont let the child accumalate more stuff than they know what to do with.
Finally, set some clear rules about cleaning, why? when? (Make it a regular evvent, every Friday evening the room needs to be tidied.) This is a good time to insisit upon no TV, movies, friends over (etc) until the room is tidy.
