I have name changed for this. DS1 is 7.5, has always been quite absent minded and forgetful. He changed school in Sept 2012 and new school is a good 35 mins a way from home.
DH & I both work full time so have never done drop offs/pick ups. whilst he was at old school he regularly lost some of his school unforms mostly jumpers and sometimes his polo shirt if he had after school sports. Most times in former school we never recovered the missing items so had to replace.
Now in new school he has misplaced blazer, winter jacket, 2 pairs of PE socks, waterbottle, 5 pairs of games socks, his school shoes, his snow boots, 2 winter hats and his pencil case. Luckily we recovered the blazer (after spending £70 on a replacement), the winter jacket and school shoes.
Today DH lost it with him when we realised that he had someone's blazer on, did not have his hat yet again!! and forgot/can't remember where it is/maybe on the bus/lost his snow boots!!! we are very with him moreso because we spoke to him over the weekend about his forgetfullness and discussed strategies to help him remember.
I am going into school later today to help look for some of the missing items.
DS2 is in same and is yet to lose anything.
Have you dealt with this? any help on how to tackle this will be most appreciated.
