RE: losing planners and forgetting backpacks at school... is this NORMAL? I mean, do all kids do this? Are PG kids more prone? I ask because I'm now wondering if what I've been certain is some kind of LD issue may simply be normal 7 y/o boy behavior. He cannot seem to keep more than one to-do in his mind at a time, and sometimes even that is too much. He is always losing and misplacing things. If he puts something down outside, we may never find it again, as he has no clue at all if he even took it outside! Seriously, ladies... I've been ready to have him evaluated over this issue. He's an only child and I'm no expert with children, so if this is normal, please do tell!
