eve_primeD. has the chronic bad habit of forgetting things when leaving school or when heading to school in the morning. Yesterday he managed to forget his clarinet three separate times, and his jacket has been left at school way more times than I care to think about.
So J. came up with a great motivator. D. loves the ninja warrior theme, right? And where would a ninja be if he showed up to the castle without his grappling hook? So memory is clearly a ninja skill, worthy of ninja training. He just needed a mnemonic.
So now he has one, and he’s doing great at remembering, every time he’s going from one place to another: Homework, Backpack, Clarinet, and Jacket. Yay ninjas.
* Or the bland, maternal version: Happy Boys Can Jump.
