[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of good advice here.

First thing that comes to my mind is access -- humidifier, mouse, iPad chargers -- why does a 7 year old have access to all that?  Of course if he is playing with that stuff then some of it will break.  This should be a "not accessible for him to play with" rule, not an access rule.

If something expensive and fragile is within his reach, he should understand he's not to fool around with it.  If he can't control himself, then remove it to somewhere where he can't mess around with it.

The issue here, it seems to me, is not that he is breaking things.  It's that he is fooling around with things he shouldn't be, and things are being broken in the course of that.

These things aren't toys for 7 year olds, ADD or not.  [/quote]

Op here.thanks for your post. Regarding access, it's not like we do things on purpose, but some things we thought, well, like the humidifier. We have (well had) 3 that sat on the floor, one in each kids room and one in ours. He broke the one in his room.

Laptop like I mentioned was just out. Top down, he never used it. Doesn't know password. We started keeping that out away. Charger, looks like the end was just twisted off. Each time something breaks, we change rules, take similar items away, etc. B it's something new/different each time.
