[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he left sports equipment or an instrument behind. If that's the case, I don't know that I'd punish too severely. We all forget things once in a while, even when trying to be careful. I like the idea of reducing his allowance a bit.[/quote] Yes, I thought it was something like this. Does your child have attention issues? I have an 8 year old and I can see him been like that at 12. I was like that also, and still am. I did fine at work and college because I learned to write everything down, but I am extremely absent minded when I can't write things down. I would really assess the situation, if it was not intentional and he is truly sorry, I would use the situation as a tool to encourage him to use techniques to help him get organized so this doesn't happen again. But if he is agaist working with you, then he can have your grounding of choice.[/quote]
