Trying to put clothes away in my son's dresser, I am likely to step on a Lego or two. If you've ever done this, you know how much it hurts. Bedroom cleaning seems to be an on again/off again struggle for him. Sometimes, he can stay somewhat on top of it. And, sometimes he can't. At those times, there's usually much more than one or two Legos on the floor.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I know that if he is left completely to his own devices for cleaning his room, it will gradually get worse and worse. Verbal requests from me to clean up aren't usually enough. I need to get active and help him tackle the mess. One way we have dealt with it in the past is to organize his toys. The key to this is to make sure there are not too many toys out in his room at any one time. Too many toys means too many for a child to manage.
It's time for us to organize, purge and donate toys again. Maybe then I won't step on any Legos. At least not for a few weeks.
