Can I have have another private post please. I have an four year old boy and five year old girl. They currently share an room. I will be putting my son in his own room but it’s not going to be until at least August. As the room he is moving into needs declutting and decorating and needs carpet and I can’t afford to do it now. The problem is they literally trash their room everyday. Weather they wake up in the morning and do it. Or after school or on weekends. They don’t sit and play they just get everything single toy out and throw it about. They’ve broken their toy box. They too stuff. They don’t actually just sit and play. I honestly just want to go in their bag it all up and put it in the shed till they learn to treat things nicely. They’ve drawn all over the wall. Pulled the curtain pole off. Broke their stair gate. They are good kids. They are as good as gold at school. It’s went they come home. They just bounce of each other. I’m on my own and there dad isn’t involved so it’s always me dealing with it. I just want to cry. My home always looks trashed . It’s exhausting. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried the naughty step, reward charts, taking stuff away. Etc. I’m at a loss😭😭

Whilst decluttering give them a box each to fill of toys they don’t want so there isn’t too much to tidy, Bare in mind that the one room that gets trashed now will soon be halved into two so it won’t be awful (although still probably a nightmare!) but lots of easy storage for each room and a washing basket and leave them too it! At the end of every night get them to chuck toys into the box their dirty clothes in the basket and jobs a goodin. No it won’t be perfect but it won’t b soul destroying!! Atleast until their slightly older and can organise properly etc xx
My boys kept doing this when they were younger. I took all of their stuff out their room and put it in the corner in the front room. They had their beds and their chest of drawers nothing else in there. They had to earn back their toys through good behaviour at home and they only got one thing, so they could have the lego back or they could have the super heroes. It worked. Yes they still make a mess but they know to tidy up and that mummy means it xx
My 3 and 4 year old recently done this 🙈 they had EVERYTHING taken away and all put in bin bags they are still earning things back now it’s hard but stick at it they’ll get more fed up than u x
