How to get child to clean his room

I struggled with this for a loooong time. I finally found what worked for my 11 year old. I told him I would help him thouroghly clean his room. We went through everything. He got rid of some stuff he didn't use anymore. We found a place for all his things. Organized everything.

Then I said "When you get ready for bed make sure everything is put away. If it's not I will donate it or sell it on Ebay and I keep the cash! I don't care what it is. It will be gone."

Two days later he left pokemon cards scattered on the floor...they were sold on ebay.

He now knows I'm serious. His room has been clean since January!

you have to let him no that you are the boss if he is the age from 5 to 8 try playing a game with him to help him want to clean his room.form 9 or above clean his room one good time explain to him the importance of doing this.tell him this is the last time that your doing this for him and every now and then if he is disrespectful he needs a good spanking the bible says use the rod(hand or belt)if needed i hope my answer help you and your family these steps can be for boy or girl or husband in some cases

Stop asking him.  You go in there and take boxes with you.  Pack away everything laying on the floor, whether it be clothes or toys.  He will think differently when all this stuff is gone.

 Your plan of "attack" depends entirely on your kid's age. If they are younger than five, you really should be helping them pick up their rom. If they are older than five, but younger than ten, then reward charts and telling him to break down his room cleaning into small tasks is the way to go. If he's a pre-teen, then the whole "Clean it up or I will and then your things will be gone" might be effective. However, if your child is a teen, you might wanna just let it be. Teenagers and parents have enough things to fight over without adding the cleanliness of their personal space to the list.

My explaining to my daughter that she can't have friends over for sleepovers anymore got her up in her bedroom and clearing up pretty quickly!

She won't be allowed to watch DVDs or stay up late as a treat either on the weekends if her room is too messy.

well it may not be kind but if it looks THAT bad then start pretending to get rid of his/her stuff or help him/her clean because u will get stressed and complain i do that w/ my kid works everytime
