[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 6 [/quote] You know, we got this a lot when our child first started having issues, and I never understood it. Because at some point, "He's 6" with the implication that he's too young to be expected to do X becomes "He's 10" with the implication that he should be doing these things for himself. It doesn't happen by magic, you have to help them learn and you have to find the method that works for the kid you have. My 8-year-old will make lists and have stuff by the door the night before with very little prompting; my 10-year-old has ADHD and executive function issues and needs more support. (Also, when we got the "He's 5" from our family when they objected to our kid being evaluated, we decided that, if the kindergarten teacher with the masters in special education who saw 20 5-year-olds every day was concerned, maybe it wasn't just a "he's 5" kind of thing and we were going with the professional.)[/quote]
