In the long run, you have to occasionally refuse to save them. It's a life lesson that is hard for me to give them but good for them long term. 8 months ago

Not bring him a soccer uniform only hurts the team if they are forced to forfeit and all the parents a $50 fine. That's not something that's worth teaching him a lesson over. 8 months ago

We use a white board. Actually two - one in the bathroom and one in bedroom. So far, so good. 8 months ago

Lists ... can you hang something on the front door that says what they need when they walk out? I had a friend do this. And it worked well for them. After a while it all became habit so the lists weren't needed. 8 months ago

Oh gosh, that is a big one here. I think the ideal answer is consequences and not always rescuing them - make them live with the "natural consequences" but that is often easier said than done. 8 months ago
