Help! My son loses EVERYTHING

I’m losing my mind because my son manages to misplace something almost every day at school. His hat, a sweatshirt, water bottle. I’ve tried labeling his things, reminding him to check before leaving, writing a note on his hand. But every day there’s still something missing! Anyone else dealt with this? Would love any tips or tricks to help him be more mindful (and me less frustrated!).

Same thing here! My daughter lost her jacket 3 times last month :weary: What’s worked for us is a reward system—if she brings everything home for a week, she gets to pick a small treat. It’s helped a bit, but I swear these kids’ stuff is a magnet for disappearing!

We use a checklist for the stuff my son has to bring back. It has pictures of everything so he can’t use the “I forgot” excuse. Seems to be working better now.
