[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 556252"] I have explained to my kids that respect is EARNED not freely given. easy child earns respect by being respectful of everyone else. If you don't give it you aren't going to get it. I also preach the "reap what you sew" stuff. If you give negataive, you get negative. If you give positive, you get positive. People will treat you the way you treat them. That's life. I realize he's ONLY 5 but he can still start learning these "harsh realities" of life. As for the homework, because his ADHD medications wore off around dinner time, we had to make homework time start 1/2 hour after difficult child 1 got home. He got 1/2 hour of whatever he wanted to unwind but then he got NO privileges (tv, computer, toys, games, etc) until homework was done. I started this early so it wasn't an issue after the first year. It was just habit. Good luck! It IS so tiring day after day. I hear you!!!! [/QUOTE]
