[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 385163, member: 2423"] OK. Here's how Ross Greene would recommend approaching the homework discussion in the first place when difficult child gets home from the community center to (hopefully) avoid a meltdown. You say, "I understand there's some homework that needs to get done tonight. Let's work together to figure out a plan for getting it done." And then you listen to his ideas on when and how his homework will get finished and come to an agreement. When I use this technique, my kids sometimes grumble about not wanting to start their homework. So then I offer choices. "Do you want to start it at 6 or 6:30?" "Do you want to do it in the dining room or the kitchen?" Anything to provide buy-in and some control over the situation. [/QUOTE]
