[quote=Anonymous]She needs checklists and she needs to take half an hour in the morning and a half hour in the evening to put her things away. She needs to schedule organization time into her day.

A check-list for the morning could include stuff like put pajamas in the laundry, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, hang up clean clothes that I'm not wearing, put dirty clothes in laundry, get things together for school (earbuds, lunchbox), eat breakfast, put on shoes, put any shoes that I am not wearing away, put on jacket, put any jackets that I am not wearing away.

An evening checklist would include do homework, put my homework in my backpack, give mom any permission slips or other papers from school, put permission slips and papers back in my backpack, free-time, put my things away (toys, books, markers, games), put dirty clothes in laundry, put on pajamas, brush teeth, read for 15 - 30 minutes, check alarm, go to bed.

At our house, we also emphasize that "The job isn't done until you clean up after yourself."  You haven't finished breakfast until you put the dishes away. You haven't finished getting ready for bed until you put your dirty clothes in the laundry. You haven't finished your homework until you put it in your backpack and put the backpack away. You haven't finished playing a game until you clean the game up and put the box away.[/quote]
