Messy Business

Dear Alisa and Gina,

How do I get my teenage son with ADHD to clean up his room without sounding like a complete nagging you-know-what? ~ Grossed Out Mom

You can’t. Just shut the door. But every month or so - bomb for bugs.~ Gina

I agree with Gina, you can "get" him to clean up his room. But you can be clear about your own boundaries. For instance, maybe there are things you won't be able to do as long as his room is like that, say help him find anything? ~ Alisa
