[QUOTE="bby31288, post: 52493, member: 182"] I find with my difficult child 14, she doesn't not care for reading either. So we do the she reads 10 minutes, I read 10 minutes, then her again. Its nice to have that one on one time, plus gives us the chance to discuss the story and I can evaluate her understanding. Its hard to make a child read. In fact I would say impossible. You could tell him 30 minutes, he could stay in his room for 30 minutes, but in the end you don't now if he read or not. As the others have stated, you cannot fix him. He is not broken, just different. You need to bend a little and compromise where you are and what you want, to what he is capable of. I think we all have figured out no children are alike, and just when you think you have them figured out, they change! Welcome to the site. [/QUOTE]
