[quote=Anonymous]Teach your kids good habits!!! I have ADHD and I rarely lose or misplace things. Because I am more prone to losing things or being distracted mid-task, I have systems and habits to prevent losing or breaking important or expensive items. I started with my kids in early elementary school with water bottles, “special gloves” that matched a unique color winter coat, etc. I buy nice things that my kids like. We’ve lost 1 water bottle, 1 cheap digital watch, and 0 gloves/sweatshirts/jackets/hats in 10 years of parenting - and it was ME who left the water bottle behind at a restaurant. Right now my kids have Amazon knock-off Apple Watches. If they wear them daily and don’t lose or break them for 1 full year, they will get a real Apple Watch for 5th grade. 6 months in, it’s going well. As a kid who DID lose things and get in trouble with my parents, I know that learning how to take care of things is not something that kids just know without being taught.[/quote]
