[QUOTE="witzend, post: 206460, member: 99"] Maybe next time husband can take difficult child along so he can see some logical consequences? I tend to agree with his teacher. For the most part, for [i]most[/i] of our kids, I don't think that they [i]can't[/i] do the work. Yours at 11 y/o may not be ready to go cold turkey on this, but I think that getting them to figure out what works for [i]them[/i] to get the homework done should be our goal. My niece was Learning Disability (LD), and needed special aids at about that age. It was something about having to be able to see and hear in order to process. She couldn't [i]just[/i] read or [i]just [/i] hear a lesson. She did figure it out, and had to use those skills all the way through high school and college. She's a pharmacist now. [i]That's[/i] good money! Maybe that's the key? Realizing that they need to learn different skills to accomplish what others do without those special aids? [/QUOTE]
