[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 241291, member: 5663"] Okay, I know I wouldn't "detach", but I'm frustrated and tired of trying to help and getting nothing back. During her IEP last month they qualified her with a non-specific auditory learning disability. She went in for an evaluation a couple weeks ago and we're waiting for the results. Most of the homework she brings home is math, and I'm pretty sure most of it is unfinished school work, not real homework. Marf suggested the coffee table. You know, I AM one of those people who work better with a distraction. I work better at my job when I can put on music. I often had the TV on during homework time. It helped my subcouncious from thinking of other things and helped me concentrate. E is NOT like that (I think). Last night I left the TV on with a Pretenders concert. I could tell it was more of a distraction and husband turned it off. I do like the homework points idea. I've been working through what would work for a sticker chart for her and adding homework is a good one. And a reward of TV time after homework probably will work as well. I'll have to work through that with husband because he'll need to get her to do it before I come home for that to work (it would be great if TV time were right when I got home so I could get my little rest between work and dinner and then spend "quality" time after dinner). Her teacher knows homework is an issue and is allowing it to be brought home on the weekend for me to help her with then (when I have more time to devote to her, not that homework is assigned on the weekend). And her aides help her with some of it. She just does not want to do it. [/QUOTE]
