as above, any advise very welcome.
13 year old girl will just not keep her room even reasonably tidy for a day. I can sort through and get it back to normal and within a day she has pulled stuff out and living in chaos. I have done the sorting with her and made a routine to follow so she knows what to do and has no learning issues.
On other occasions i have done it myself but now she doesn't want me going through her stuff.
she has a wash basket but mixes dirty and clean cloths on the floor, doesn't empty her bin or bring food plate/cups down, never puts anything away where it belongs, just dumps it on the floor.
It is so messy and smells.
First day of holidays here so i have taken her phone off her until she has tidied her room, cue shouting, crying, sling doors and throwing things around the house.
Is this a reasonable sanction? what else can i do?
with my own teenagers i just used to let them live in filth, but then no one was coming round every month to look at where they were sleeping!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on fostering.
Fostering
How on earth do you get teenaged foster children to tidy their rooms?
