[QUOTE="Malika, post: 431552, member: 11227"] Then, if you are sure the problem is his "obstinacy", you will know that putting pressure on him to come up with one answer will make him want to go the other way... I see this with my son on a daily basis. Why engage in fruitless battle with an 8 year old? Have expectations but be realistic about what ones he can meet, I guess. Otherwise you are just banging your own head against the wall all the time. by the way, when I was in primary school (up to age 11), there was NO homework. That was when educational thinking was at a liberal point in the circle. I am therefore conditioned to think that homework at this age is strange and unnecessary... [/QUOTE]
