[QUOTE="keista, post: 468700, member: 11965"] ((((hugs)))) :toast: I'll join ya for some of that wine. It's perfectly normal to get frustrated and loose your temper. I wish I could tell you where to find Carson's instruction manual. I wish I had the answers. I do know when they refuse to do work like that, they don't have much control over it. *Something* is going on. The first strategy I use is to break it down. Forget the whole test. Just do one question and take a break. Next time maybe do two questions and take a break. And I make the breaks longer than the work time. 5 minutes on, 10 minutes off. If he's capable of being negotiated into that kind of arrangement, then you know for a fact that he does want to get the work done. Getting at least some work done helps build confidence and self esteem. Then you work from there trying to figure out what REALLY bothers him about any particular assignment. The answer could be as simple as "It's just too overwhelming" [/QUOTE]
