So this entire year of TK my five year old has had trouble with putting his backpack on the hook before going into class. It was always the attention and executive functioning to do it the right way, plus pulling the hook out while putting it on is tricky. Most of the time when I asked him to put it on the hook he would grab the big straps. I would point to the other kids’ backpacks as examples and help guide him, pulling the hook out. This has gone on since the beginning of the school year.

As of a week ago he’s been able to do it completely on his own from start to finish. This is one of those things many parents of NT kids take for granted, but this has been huge for me. I’m so proud of him.
