[QUOTE="Stella, post: 256166, member: 6837"] Hi Stressbunny - I just want to second Marg's suggestion to read The Explosive Child. It will teach you about chossing your battles. I have decided that homework is not a battle I choose to fight with difficult child as we have bigger fish to fry! The thing is you have have a two hour long battle over homeworke, provoking aggression, slamming doors, breaking things, name calling etc and even after all that difficult child does her homework - she's not going to do a very good job on it and I can't see them learning too much when they're in that state. I decided it just wasn't worth it. Also, even though I know difficult child has what i call a "half-arsed" attempt at her homework, doesn't bring home correct books etc, I have never once been called up to the school about it. If it comes to that point I will collaborate with her teacher then to come to some resolution on it but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now, main priority is staying sane!! Please read the Explosive Child - I really think you and difficult child will benefit immensely from it. [/QUOTE]
