[QUOTE="jannie, post: 110760, member: 2074"] I have the same problem with both of my kids. Right now I'm more concerned with the fact that I can not get difficult child 2 to read novels at all. I actually spent an entire therapist session discussing how to entice and or force child to do this. t-doctor is not a fan of punishment for not reading...however nothing works, [img]:thumbsdown:[/img]m My husband says not to stress about it because although he refuses to read his novels, he is a reader, and enjoys reading nonfiction...give him Guiness World Record Book or Ripley's most disguisting records...or sports illustrated for kids or picture books and he'll easily sit for 20 minutes a day. However, he is required to read 3 books per quarter and it just isn't happening. Even paying him to read a book doesn't seem to work.... I do think books on tape...or reading aloud is a good strategy...for us though the teacher says it's unacceptable because there is no reason difficult child 2 is refusing to read. I think I'm just giving up because I can't deal with the stress of it all-Aside from the reading, 90% of the time, he completes his homework-- Sorry-- [/QUOTE]
