[QUOTE="Fran, post: 286014, member: 3"] Terry, for many kids with executive functioning weaknesses, the whole idea of packing is overwhelming. It requires a plan and understanding what packing would entail. I also would give difficult child some lead time and choices. Ask him when he would like to pack and remind him (tonight is when you wanted to pack). What time would work for you? It's like telling my difficult child to clean his room. This doesn't compute. I tell him, trash in the trash can, books on the shelves, make the bed, clothes in the hamper and continue on item by item. He needs specifics. There should be a list for him to follow. My difficult child wouldn't know how to start either. I would have to ask him questions that cue him. What do you need when you first get up(toothbrush, toothpaste, face soap etc, etc) What do you need after a shower? What would you use if you get cold/wet/hot? What would you need if there are mosquito's? etc. You get my drift. If your difficult child has some difficulty with the concept of packing and hides his weakness by being oppositional you may want to try another route. [/QUOTE]
