[QUOTE="Christy, post: 142513, member: 225"] Everyday is a new day. Let's hope this one is better. If the problem persists, work with the school on prioritizing the work that needs done. It is unrealistic to expect that you can get him to do all of his work at home when they have not had success doing it all day in school. Weed out anything that is "busy work" and focus on what is important. While the best case senario is for difficult child to do all the work as assigned and independently, it may be just as effective to his education to modify some assignments. Can he answer questions verbally rather that by writting them (answers can be dictated). If he refuses to read and something is read to him, he would still get the benefit of hearing the material. Can he do 10 instead of 25 math problems, etc... Some folks hesitate to cut a kid some slack because it's not "fair" but all you can do is all you can do and some work is better than none! Wishing you a good day! Christy [/QUOTE]
