I've delt with this for many issues not just shoes. keeping the room clean,
picking up after her self, she's 11. etc. I ask her, if dad's room is clean
why can't yours be? If dad keeps all his shoes organized in the cloest, why
can't you. so on and so forth. after dealing with this for 5.5 years since I
got custody of her, I still don't have any answers for how to fix this. just
sitting down and talk once a week about it usually helps for about 2 days.

she'll just take off her shoes and leave them where they land, even though
there's a place for them that she can reach just fine. I try to remind her
to put her shoes away when I know she's taking them off, but I'm not always
around. She sees me put my shoes back in the same place every time so I can
find them when I want them, and Dad has a place for his shoes, mostly so
they stay out of my way on the floor. But anyway, then there's a frantic
shoe hunt when she has to be somewhere, like before school this morning, and
it usually turns into Dad getting exasperated and Mom trying to find the
shoes while Sarah goes on about some important but unrelated mission,
because we're in too much of a hurry to make her look for them.
