Map out the backpack
“Kids with organization issues need to be explicitly taught how to organize their backpack,” says educator Amanda Morin. “They may not learn it on their own.”
Start from scratch by emptying out your child’s backpack. Make sure the backpack is sturdy and has multiple compartments and pockets.
Have your child sort all school supplies into clearly defined categories. (By the way, here’s how to save money on those pricey school necessities.) For instance, put pens, pencils, and highlighters together. Match up notebooks with folders and textbooks. Make a pile for stuff he has to take back and forth to school, like his lunchbox or gym clothes. Next, assign each category to a compartment or zipper pocket in the backpack.
Once everything has a place, have your child draw a picture of his backpack, labeling it with what goes where. The map is a reminder of where things go.
