[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 80268, member: 3893"] I feel for you - we have the same problems. I don't think you'll get anywhere until you accept the fact that this child has a neurological deficit that will always make life extremely difficult for him. He can't do what is expected of him and he'll need help more often and for much longer than most kids despite what society says. It's exhausting I know, I do it every day but if you continue to believe that he is doing this on purpose, you'll drive yourself crazy. What worked for me was to lower my expectations, sit down with my son when he does his homework to see where the breakdown occurs and establish a routine to help him organize his life. And then you have to do it everyday over and over until he gets it - or graduates, whichever comes first. [/QUOTE]
