[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 133849, member: 2322"] my take is that if it helps him be successful and feel good about himself and school--keep doing it. life is hard enough for these kiddos. Some teachers have so little understanding of mental disabilities it is shocking. he will likely mature over time. Natural consequences only work if the child is capable. Otherwise they just contribute to failure. Would you let a two year take the natural consequences of failure to hold mother's hand when crossing the street? No becuase they are not developmentally ready. you sound like a great mom, and frankly I envy you the fact that you can actually get your child to do his homework! [/QUOTE]
