Tips and tricks to get kids to stop getting into stuff stop unlocking cabinets getting into stuff picking up after themselves. I’ve locked a lot up they constantly get into everything my house looks like a toddler war zone all the time constantly and they won’t clean up their messes even when I ask nicely they won’t pick up they won’t clean up when I yell or discipline them either. They either laugh at me or make up excuses like I’m hungry I’m tired or I need to go potty or my 3 or old I pooped in my pill up. She will purposely make herself poop in her pull up just do she doesn’t have to pick up after herself. I’ve tried rewarding them and taking stuff away. Nothing is working and with my house looking the way it does I’m afraid of people coming over cuz it’s so bad.
Bag it all up. 
They do it because your punishments don’t hurt. Not physically but emotionally. They shouldn’t not care. So, find what makes them care. Set the rules and enforce them. If they grab something else and didn’t put the other toy away, take it from them and tell them they can have it when they clean up. Let them be mad. They’ll get over it. Enforce it now bc waiting until they’re 10 is too late.
Set the rules and enforce them.
Usually bagging all the stuff up they won’t put away works. I’ve done it once with each of mine. After that, all I had to do was walk in with a trash bag and they got moving.
Remove all their toys and hide them somewhere. Tell the children that they need to earn them back.
Get the three year old out of pull ups and tell her it is time she used the toilet.
Have a family meeting and explain all your new expectations and how the home will work from now on.
Be firm and consistent and try not to get in a yelling match with them.
Continue with the reward system and follow through with all rewards earned.
Make ‘em you’re the mom. Stop playing around with them and be mama. You can’t be nice to kids are you kidding me. Make them respect you fck everything else. If they don’t respect you now they never will and no rewards they’re supposed to what you say period
I’m sorry, are you complaining about toddlers?

I love mine, but boy, it’s been a wild ride.
My advice: MAKE IT FUN. I don’t EXPECT my toddler to pick up after himself. Many grown ass adults have a hard time doing that themselves. But I definitely make it fun for him, and I join him in the process. “Let’s race to see who can do it the fastest?” Sing a clean up song. Etc. I have always included my toddler in cooking and cleaning and have made it fun for him. And he still won’t do it himself, but will 90% of the time join me in it if I’m making it fun for him. But he’s only 3-years-old. The hope is that by the time they’re a bit older (7+), they will know HOW to do it.
I don’t discipline when he doesn’t want to. I don’t yell at him if he doesn’t want to. At the end of the day, if I’m going to make an experience negative, he’s going to fight me harder on it. I’ve literally just stayed consistent with patience and making it fun for him, and it’s worked for me.
If there are toys EVERYWHERE, and you can’t take it anymore, maybe try to get rid of toys. Leave them with 4 toys and let them figure it out. Implement fun ways to clean up those 4 toys at the end of every day and very slowly introduce more toys? Consistency and patience has always been the key for what works for us.
Also, potty training is the worst thing ever. But again, patience and consistency. Take the pull-up away. 
If they’re getting into OTHER things, then maybe it’s a sign for you to declutter? My home doesn’t look like a toddler war zone, but also, I despise clutter and holding onto items just because. 
So there really isn’t a whole lot he can get into other than the clothes that are in drawers and pots and pans, I guess. Even then, I’m a minimalist with the clothes and items I keep.
Then again, we don’t know your life and situation. Just giving advice based on what’s helped my toddler. If none of this helps, sorry. 
Hope you can figure something out that works for you. 
Hang in there!
We set up a chore chart with desired behavior. The children got a gold star for everything they accomplished. You could have different clean up times up to 4 times a day to coincide with morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack or nap time, before dinner, and bed. If they stay out of the cabinets or wherever, they get a star for each half day they do it.
Throw in some other desired behaviors like teeth brushing, eating nicely with utensils, etc., and have at least one thing where they’re certain to get a gold star so they don’t ever go without any. Our son had oppositional defiant disorder so the kids got an extra star for doing certain chores without complaining. Keep the list to 10 chores or fewer while they’re little and getting used to following it. It will take several weeks to get into practice and they will test you.
Do NOT fuss at them if they don’t do something. The lack of gold star (or check mark, or whatever) and lack of recognition will be enough after a few weeks. The more you yell, the more you sound like background noise.
At the end of the week each child that does most of their chores (set a number like 8 out of 10–no one’s perfect) gets a reward (sticker, get to pick main dish for dinner, extra 15 minutes later bedtime, an extra bedtime story, etc.) Food can be used as a reward on rare occasions only, as you don’t want kids to self-soothe or associate reward with food.
Do they have too many toys? Is it overwhelming to put them all away? Put half or more away and rotate them out every month or so. It’s OK to keep a few favorites always out.
Barney the purple dinosaur had a clean-up song. Maybe find it on You Tube and play it through a few times so the kids have a finite amount of time to pick up after themselves. When the song has played three times if their toys are still not put away they don’t get a gold star. Alternatively set a timer for 10 minutes. Always allow enough time to put toys away nicely and not rush through it haphazardly.
It’s really important to be on top of things and be CONSISTENT. Have a SCHEDULE and stick to it as much as possible so kids know when certain things happen and can anticipate the behavior expected. Get the 3-year old out of pull-ups & have her clean her underwear if she messes it up.
Find meditation apps and learn ways to remain calm. It’s so hard, but important not to fly off the handle to model good behavior for kids. It was also helpful to have family meetings once a week. Any grievances were written down to be discussed and solved at the same time each week.
In the meantime, everyone thinks of solutions. The youngest gets to go first and have an object to hold and no one can interrupt while they speak. Then people can ask questions, youngest to oldest for clarification. Then everyone discusses solutions, compromises, possibilities. If you get stuck, just defer discussion until the following week. Kids come up with surprisingly good and fair solutions sometimes. This way you don’t argue about anything, and the kids learn they will get to state something they’d like to have happen, everyone will listen and problem solve to make things better.
Watch episodes of Super Nanny and America’s Super Nanny.
If possible get them into activities like library story time so they can see other kids modeling good behavior. Don’t shame your kids but compliment the kids who behave nicely and/or cooperate together.
Be sure they get some exercise in so they tire themselves out: playground, running up and down the sidewalk, hopscotch, riding tricycles, doing kids exercise videos together. Do it at the same time/s every day if possible.
Do meditation, yoga, breathing or other techniques for kids to help calm down (you too!) at the same time every day, especially good when everyone tends to get cranky, maybe before nap time or before dinner.
Remember you are the boss not them😂
Be a parent. Old fashioned discipline
They are toddlers. It takes time and consistency. Over and over and over again till it just becomes a habit.
Take everything away from them. No toys , no tv , no iPad. Send them outside to play or let them read a book. Make them earn things back
Come to the realization that nothing in your house will ever be clean again. You have kids!!
Get off your lazy ass and clean your house, get out of bed or off
Your phone and watch them , they wouldn’t be getting into stuff , be a parent
Just goes to show kids have too many toys and gadgets.
