I am POSITIVE thaat I was never as difficult as this when I was a kid!

All day long I've been trying to get Molly to pick up her Tinker Toys. I have tried:
  • Asking politely
  • Asking firmly
  • Trying to make it a game
  • Helping/showing exactly what I want her to do
  • Threatening to throw them away
  • Telling tales of when *I* was a child and Grammy would lock me in my bedroom with no dinner and no bathroom till it was cleaned up
  • Threatening to do the afore mentioned "Grammy Treatment"
  • Offering rewards such as toys/candy
  • Ignoring her till she cleans them up (the latest strategy)
So far, nothing has worked :(

All she's doing is laying on the floor next to the mess whining "It's too haaaaaard" and "I'm tiiiiiiired".

She eventually got them all picked up, it just took HOURS to do it and lots of crying :)
