In many areas of the country, there have been rains the likes of which we have never seen. Due to the eight to ten inches of rain that we have received, the clean-up can be overwhelming. As our children grow out of their toys and clothes, some of us are savers and those who are so, have an overwhelming amount of work to do in terms cleaning up. These cleanups do not just take an hour or even a day, but sometimes, weeks.
So here is the scenario: You begin to clean up that incredible mess and your child with ADHD somehow gets in the way. What can you do to keep him busy so that you can do whatever you have to do in terms cleaning up?
Your dilemma is quite simple. Give him one and only one specific job at a time, whether it is taking Legos out of a wet box and washing each piece, and then drying them, that is the idea. Just to continue, he can categorize the Legos into different colors and then count how many there are of each color. Hopefully, this task will give you at least an hour of uninterrupted time so that you can clean up.
If you need more ideas, please just ask me, and I will quickly respond.
