If you continue telling him

how nice it would feel

to have the room clean,

you're not likely to get far.

You're trying to appeal

to how it feels

to have a solution when all he's seeing

is a problem.

You're not speaking the same language representationally.

If you were to recognize this difference

and tell him how nice his room would look

with everything appearing neat

you would have a better chance

of getting some action out of him

(were he not a teenager).
