[QUOTE="klmno, post: 121213, member: 3699"] My difficult child goes through stages of memory loss. We handle it like this- some things I make sure I buy inexpensive stuff, put name tags on what we can, try to help him understand that sometimes he is forgetful, like me, so write it down or try real hard if it's important, let him suffer the natural consequences for some period of time before replacing- not as a punishment for being forgetful, but to try to get him to see he needs to find ways to keep things organized or help remeber things- if you take your shoes off, leave them next to the door, gate, whatever. This helps some, but boy, I've had to replace a lot of things many times and there is a ton of homework, pencils, eyeglasses, socks, etc., a a very big black hole somewhere!! He also loses things that I know he doesn't want to lose, so I know it's not just a ploy- at least not always. [/QUOTE]
