Any other parents have secrets or tips to help the sprouts stay interested in
helping organize a large (several tens of thousands) LEGO collection? I’ve
tried telling them they couldn’t play with the Star Wars sets unless they
helped, but that’s a “problem later, bored now” issue that doesn’t seem to
impress them. Any other appropriate carrot-sticks been used successfully out
there?

It takes some preparation and thinking ahead, but I suggest you make some kind
of game out of it. Work with a bell as in boxing matches, that signals short
“treat” pauses. Be crative with the “treats”. Put something tastefull in a bidon
and pretend its some very special powerfull sportsfood. Have a bucket of water
and a sponge to sponge their faces, fan with a towel, give them a hilarious over
the top massage to relieve finger stifness, let mam parade with round number
signs, imitate a sports commentator, and simulate a doping check. Provide the
unexpected and make them curious about what will happen next.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
