When I ask the kids to clean their rooms:
Sam jumps in and is done in about 5 mins.
Ada works for 5 mins, decorates/plays for about an hour, and then asks me for help. Even though I believe in helping when others are in need, I also believe in teaching children. My gut response is, "I didn't help you make the mess, why do you need my help to clean the mess?" I try to be nicer about it though. Then Ada plays in her room for a little while longer before convincing Sam that if he helps her then she can come play with him. Nice.
