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 :(

This was the approach I was going to recommend.
