I have a 10 (soon to be 11) year old girl who has the worst organizational habits. Not only is her room ALWAYS messy, she tends to continue this habit at school. She quite often turns things in late (if at all) because she either can't find or has trouble finding things. Her grades have already been suffering this year. She's a smart kid who just can't get her head out of the clouds.
She has a planner from the school that she tries to fill out every day. I am in contact with teachers to keep up on her work. We email back and forth to keep her "on task". She has been grounded, lost priveleges, and has even lost some of her "grounded priveleges" (i.e. reading, writing, etc.) as she loves to do these things.
I am at a loss as how to continue. Any ideas?
