[QUOTE="tonysmom821, post: 121190, member: 4176"] I'm new to this website and I don't quite understand all the abbreviations yet - but I can definetly relate to your child losing important things because mine does the same. I have a 15 year old son - who just lost his second cell phone in 6 months. That's it. I'm done with cell phones. His sister gave him her old phone and all he has to do is buy a SIM card - that's totally up to him. I'm not buying it. I'm learning regardless of his disorders, I cannot hold his hand for the rest of his life. He's got to learn there are consequences. It's the hardest lesson in the world. One day he's going to have to learn to be independent without me around. At least that's the goal. So... what I did was quit buying stuff he loses. Period. He gets rewarded for doing good in school and a good attitude. But not rewarded for things he loses. I hope this helps! You're not the only one out there frustrated with irresponsible teens who keep losing stuff! :) Mary [/QUOTE]
