[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS 13 is still struggling with organizing his schoolwork, sports equipment, etc. We handle this probably too inconsistently, with a mix of helpful reminders and leaving him on his own to get his things together, and suffer the consequences when he does not.

He has an after school game today and I just found important equipment in the family room. He can't play without it.

We had a hectic morning with DH leaving for a business trip. I do remember last night asking him if he had his uniform packed and he said yes. I did not mention anything this morning before he left.

Do I take it to him?[/quote]

OK I'm going to be in the minority here but had this problem myself.  First you wait for him to call.  Second you tell him you can bring it but not until after the game starts ir not at all if you are iut doing something else.  Be sympathetic.  I did this twice and DD hasn't forgotten anything for over a year.  It's not meant to be mean.  If it's a consistent problem you are not helping DC find a solution if you take care of it.[/quote]
