[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 581189, member: 15810"] I can tell you that I had to learn how to pick and choose my battles with difficult child. Hair brushing? If difficult child doesn't care that he goes to school with his hair sticking up in all different direction, then I decided that I wouldn't, either. I ask difficult child every morning, "Did you brush your teeth?" and his answer is always yes. Did he? Most of the time I don't think he did, but if he wants to go out with smelly breath that's his problems. It was really hard for me to take a step back, I found that everything was becoming a huge battle with him and I couldn't do it any more. It was just not worth it. As far as homework, I would definitely contact the teacher and tell her that it's just too much for him. Maybe she will be able to reduce the amount of work that is expected of him. [/QUOTE]
