[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a rough year- we are ready for a break. My DS has basically no idea what he is supposed to be doing at any given moment. I've come to accept that as a fact this year and it's not getting better any time soon.

I spent a small fortune at Target this morning on a whiteboard, markers, and other scheduling tools so he doesn't act surprised when I mention that he needs to get dressed. [/quote]

The big whiteboard in my DS's room has actually worked out very well this year.  We put it in after I decided he needed to get ready for school and remember what to bring on his own and that was a disaster until DH suggested a big white board.  Generally, DS still doesn't remember what I say five seconds after I say it and still seems lost in the clouds a lot, but what is on the whiteboard is really getting done independently now.  I know it will work for you as well!!!!!!  [/quote]

I need to try this.  I don't know how it's always a shocker when it's time to change for bed and brush teeth.  I've literally told him "We do this every evening!!"

Sounds like the Target spree may have some returns. DS is going to have a lot of reading and math work over the summer (not crazy amounts, but about 2 hours total per day). Let's hope the whiteboard and reward systems see us through! [/quote]
