[QUOTE="Adrift, post: 109340, member: 2158"] Here are two things that worked for us in the first grade and continue to work in the 7th. 1. Intially we actually paid him to do homework. It was his job! I think he got $3 on Friday if he did his work all week. It's controversial and felt weird but it WORKED. He is now almost 13 and consistently does a great job with his homework. No pay. 2. We let him decide when to do it according to the following rule. No screens (TV, computer, gameboy) after supper until the homework is done. We also sat with him and continue to sit with him. We help him less and less. He does and amazing job. This worked for us, it certainly might not work for all kids. Sometimes it's still awful but pretty great 80% of the time. Good luck, it's a tough one. I think homework in the first grade is rediculous anyway!! [/QUOTE]
