[quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah- we don't bring a lunch or water bottles if they forget (no health problems here). They can always buy school lunch if they have to. For my three kids I have brought exactly one item in all their years of schooling (oldest is 9th grader). It was an unusual situation leading to forget something for a group project. Generally naturally consequences are the way to go- but my kid with ADHD would forget things every single day, natural consequences be damned. Her brain just does not learn that way (and it's easy to see how different she is from my other two). The self-flagellation that she goes through when she messes up should be enough to teach her, but it isn't. She needs the reminders and guard rails to get her through.[/quote]
