[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD-inattentive teen tries hard, but accidents still happen. If it's something he needs, like an invisalign tray, or a phone, or his keys, or a jacket, then I replace it. It might not be the most convenient, or the latest version, but I don't make him feel bad about it. If it's something like air pods, he buys the replacement (he has a job, so he's usually got cash) or does without or puts it on his Christmas list. My kid knows he loses things, so he doesn't ask for expensive things. He's pretty frugal and minimalist which helps organizationally as he can get overwhelmed by stuff.[/quote]
