The Drill Sgt way of cleaning while making a point.... Dump everything from every box and bin in the toyroom, then sweep everything into 1 big pile, then make them sort and clean it up. It may sound mean but it's really the best way to make 1 chaotic mess seem more manageable... how many times have you looked at something and had no idea where to start?
I call this pile cleaning and actually do it with any big job. I wonder if my children still do this?
Funny, when things get really bad at my house I do the same thing. I sweep the entire room into one pile and tell the kids that whatever they don't take care of goes into the trash.
