[quote=Anonymous]you have to teach him. for packing a suitcase, have him make a list of what he'll need, with amounts (like X pairs of socks for an X-day trip). Look at the list with him and ask him to add certain things (like if you know you'll go swimming and he doesn't have a bathing suit on the list). Then have him pull everything out and put it on his bed, putting a checkmark next to each thing. Again, check it--ask about a few things on the list and make sure they're there. Then he puts it all in the suitcase. If there are some things he needs right up until he leaves and so can't pack, have him write those down and tape the note to the suitcase, and remind him to gather them before you leave. He isn't magically going to know how to do it. Some kids might. Yours clearly doesn't. That's ok, but you can give him practice and support now.[/quote]
