[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 468784, member: 84"] What would happen if Carson suffered the natural consequences of not doing the work? (I'm guessing the school has some right?) Perhaps instead of the homework face off, it's time to let him face some of the consequences of his choices. Due to homework "wars", I finally decided enough was enough, and let Travis deal with the school and the school deal with him. I had enough dealing with him at home and the issues there. If he flunked, he flunked. Oddly enough, he didn't flunk. Actually he did no worse when I bowed out than with me trying to force him. This doesn't mean I wouldn't help if he asked. I just didn't engage when he refused. If teachers complained (and trust me they did), I told them to handle it. Travis was about 10 when I stopped. Home life actually became much less stressful just removing the school junk. Sometimes you have to pick your battles. And sometimes just letting nature take it's course is a better way to handle it. He still faces consequences, but at least on this issue you're not the "bad guy". Hugs [/QUOTE]
