Forgetful or Playing Me?

I wonder if you could make him some sort of checklist chart or something even in the bathroom they have those signs from public health that show you how to wash your hands maybe he and all the kids would benefit from having it on the mirror. I know for all kids they don't respond great to "nagging" or constant reminding so if you have a checklist with these things on it and once he is in the door and settled have him look at the list and he can go back and put his shoes away or pick up his back pack on his own without verbal reminders. This would also give him a sense of responsibility Hang in there!

Checklists are good, but you are still going to have to do lots of reminding - "Remember your checklist." "What did you forget from your checklist?" "Did you do your bathroom checklist?" These are verbal reminders too. Either way you are going to have to keep on him to clean up after himself.
