[QUOTE="buddy, post: 555652, member: 12886"] Totally agree ....and what choice but being oppositional is there really if he truly can't do the work without intensive support. Many of our kids do well with routine. It can be hard to initiate but well worth the effort. Maybe a written schedule that never varies ....come home, healthy snack, thirty minutes of homework, etc. If he has activities on given days then make separate schedules for each day (that's what we do ). If he happens not to have homework then read during that time so the routine is established. I hope you can get a neuropsychologist to evaluate for specific learning issues or any other issues that may be impacting him. Until you know it's hard to assume that he is only choosing to behave this way though our kids would at this age often would rather have us think they are in control and making choices than that they are "different " or need sp.ed. They can develop some coping skills and attitudes that sure make it seem that they are just being uncooperative. Sigh [/QUOTE]
