My daughter is nearly seven now, she always forgets to put things back to their places, what can I do to help her to be more organized?:( :(

Make a chart with questions on it to hang on your fridge.

Did I put my toys away? (she can put a check in the box if the answer is yes)
Did I make my bed?
Did I brush my teeth?
Did I ?
Etc...

Figure out how many checks she could potetially have by the end of the week. If she meets that goal, give her a $1 or $5 - I don't know what your finances are, but you get the idea. If it's less than 50, give her 25 cents.
Take her to the Dollar store and show her what she can get for 1 dollar as opposed to 5. She'll learn the value of money as well.

Just an idea.

Wait till she is 16 and then wish she was a good as she was at 7.

It is a age and a phase, but yes a routine is always best.

Thank you! I will have a try, and I can give her more prise other than money. I think she wants my time the most.

Then give her your time.
