[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 566404"] Does his disorganization cause HIM frustration or other problems? difficult child 1 used to get frustrated over adults insisting he be organized with his papers. I decided to let natural consequences happen. He needs a paper, HE needs to find it. He can't find it, he gets another one and does the work again. HIS choice. Being organized with his papers was not anywhere near the top of my list of priorities of skills for adult living. Maybe you should ask HIM if being organized is causing problems and work together to come up with a solution HE can live with. The only organizational issue the teachers and I agreed on was that difficult child 1 would forget what homework he had because he wouldn't write them down in his planner. When I asked him what would work (the teachers were insisting he write in the planner like all the other kids), he said a voice recorder so he could say the assignments into it after each class and listen to it at the end of the day. IT WORKED. He followed through every day and he never forgot homework again. Writing it in a planner was not his "thing" but keeping track of his responsibilities was so I agreed with his method because it got the job done. [/QUOTE]
