You show her how to pick up things and make it neater, never in a bad way, never get angry, do it with her, make her help mommy, then go together and do smarting nice together like get a cookie, or something she likes, eat with her, show her mom and her are sharing something.....the cleaning up and the fun things together...in time she will associate cleaning up with good things rather than getting in trouble..as she does now

She might have too much stuff. Go through it with her and pass on clothes and toys she has outgrown or never wears/plays with to cousins or have a garage sale. Make sure the storage is easy for her to reach and access. Low shelves with spaces for books, games, and toys are best. Put a little laundry basket in a corner and a waste paper basket that fits in with her room. Remind her every morning to make her bed, and every evening to tidy a bit. If she persists in leaving toys around, make a "toy jail"--take the toy away for 2-3 days if you find it on the floor. If she keeps her room neat, tell her she's doing a good job and you're pleased. Good luck!

After asking her to tidy up her room and if she is like my children she will possibly stuff it all in 'other' places! Go in with a large plastic bag and tell her that if you come in here again you will pick it ALL up and she will have to be rewarded to get it back.
This works in my home, and our sons are almost 9 yrs, 6 year old twins and 18 months.
Give it a try, once my boys see the bag they know they better get cleanning quick smart.
Hope this helps a bit.

Clean it the way you want her to do it and set the standard. Also list the benefits like it's easier to find things and also stress that it looks a lot nicer too so when her friends come over they won't say Ewww what is this under your bed??? Good luck.

They need to learn how. Depending on what hemisphere of the brain is dominant in your child.............you need to accomondate to that. If your child is very creative and artistic, they will not be as organized as the more methodical child.
Baskets, bins, etc. work best with the creative child. Throw clothes in the blue basket, books in red crate, etc.

You can try and play a game with her, like make-believe which involves cleaning one's room daily ,and you can act like friends visiting each other and try to impress each other with your tidiness. This might cause her to be interested in keeping her room neat, taking it as a game, and we know children like to take games seriously.

i think the super nanny aproach works well, set up a routine and reward her for doing good things it doesnt have to be junk food it could just be staying up a little later one night or a trip to the beach or park. it seems to work well for her

An allowance, give her a list of things she needs to do and reward her for it.
