[QUOTE="JKF, post: 566361, member: 12470"] easy child/ difficult child is *so* disorganized! He has math papers in his reading folder, social studies in his math folder, etc and the rest of the papers are shoved into the bottom of his backpack. He can never find anything he needs at school or for homework and its a big problem. We've tried color folders so he could visualize the color, find the folders more easily and put the work into the correct folder. Nope. That's not working. I asked him why and he said cause he's in a rush so he just puts things wherever. It's driving me nuts! I told him this morning that I will be doing daily backpack/folder checks from now on and that if he doesn't at least make an attempt to do it then he will lose TV each evening that its not done. I think that's reasonable. It only takes a minute at most to put the assignment into the correct folder. I told him that the one minute he thinks he's saving time on costs him at least 5+ minutes more later bc he can't find anything and has to search. Does anyone have any magical tips on helping a kid with ADHD stay organized? [/QUOTE]
