Being organized is an ongoing battle for me and sometimes I do better than others. I have a 14 year old son too who is struggling with managing his personal responsibilities. We’re currently using two different strategies. One is the “X System” that is my go-to for almost every parenting struggle. The other is a notebook. Each day he records everything he needs to remember (homework, something he’s supposed to ask a teacher or counselor, instructions from coach about an upcoming meet). Since he carries it with him everywhere, he checks it at key transition periods during the day (before he leaves for school, at the end of each class, when he gets home, and before bed). My teen daughter who is the queen of organization, uses a similar system but tracks everything on her phone and sets alarms when she needs to remember to talk to a teacher, turn something in, etc.

I’m not sure if any of these suggestions will work for your son, but they have worked for us. Good luck! And thank you for taking the time to comment. 🙂
