Pack computer
A forgotten charger can derail a whole school day. The laptop is the heaviest item, but the small things are the ones that slip off the desk. The visual support below helps your child take everything in order.

About this visual support
Packing the computer feels like a bigger responsibility for a child than for an adult. It is expensive equipment, homework may live on it, and a charger left behind means panic at the first break. That is why a fixed packing order, one the child recognises, is worth the effort.
The pictures give something to look at instead of holding everything in your head. Once the lid is closed and the cable rolled, the mouse and the pad come next, then headphones, then the pencil case. Seeing the items in a line lets the brain relax, because it is no longer four parallel thoughts but one sequence.
A concrete tip: set up a fixed charging spot at home where the laptop always sleeps overnight, ideally with the charger fastened to the wall socket. Then the cable does not vanish under the bed. You can map the routine in Routined and check off each part before the backpack closes.
