[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 199731, member: 4334"] Hi! My name is Patty, and I am at my wit's end with-my difficult child. This will be long, but hopefully someone can offer some insight, helpful suggestions, ideas, etc. My difficult child has the following diagnosis's: Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Sensory Integration Defensiveness (primarily auditory & tactile). My difficult child's primary and most troublesome diagnosis is her ODD. She is the most defiant child I have ever met. I need new and innovative ideas on how to help her better, to complete her homework without so many CONSTANT struggles. Almost daily example: She has math homework Mon-Fri, it's usually about 15 problems. She will take about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do it. These problems are not out of her realm. This is LITERALLY daily, every single day. Our family can't do anything Mon-Fri other than stay home so she'll do her work. Tonight she was a complete turd. The math work was problems that she should really know how to do, she's did the exact same stuff last year. (fwiw she's in 8th grade) She wants me to give her the answers, which I refuse to do. I asked her to get her math book and I will look to find the section where it explains how to do the problems she was doing. She refused to get her book. Then asked her brother for help, hoping he'd give answers. He chose not to help her. She threw the homework across the room. Thrashed around on the couch in the living room. I instructed her numerous times to go to her room. She refused. I literally had to physically remove her from the living room to the hallway, not going into how I did that yet, that'll be another post someday, lol. Then she had a 1/2 hour meltdown in the hallway. We've been dealing with this homework problem for a few years now. Either she is being completely lazy, defiant, or what not, I don't know. But she refuses to focus on her homework and get it done in a fairly timely manner. I've limited distractions to the best of my ability. Right now, it's a little difficult to eliminate all distractions. But I just don't get it, why would she want to sit at the dinner table for hours and hours working on homework that she could get done in a 1/2-1 hour? (she is slower than the average 13 yr old, so for 15 math problems this time range is decent in my opinion) Do you have any suggestions, ideas, tips, etc on how to get her to get it done more time efficiently? Thank you! Patty [/QUOTE]
