Now this needs to be done in a
non-confrontational, hostile or us versus them attitude. It is not:
“We're the adults and you are the youths, not get to work.”
Rather, “This room belongs to you and I know you don't want it
trashed or run down, so you'll need to get hopping on cleaning it up
– I'll get the cleaning supplies for you” or some such positive
but firm approach.
At first you may have to gently wait
them out. They may not believe you are serious and will eventually
intervene. When an Adult starts to jump in, gently take the broom
from their hand and hand it to a youth. And so forth.
