[QUOTE="Jojara, post: 374589, member: 6475"] "Why does your difficult child want to move in with you, if you don't mind my asking?" He said that he likes my approach to doing homework with him. See, his dad will have him sit at the kitchen table to do homework while the TV is going, dinner is cooking....etc. My difficult child has a tough time with all the distractions, and his medications are not at their peak that time of day anyway. This often ends up in fights and consequences for difficult child, including him not completing his homework and getting awful grades. Also, his dad will engage in fighting with difficult child, its sometimes as if they both are struggling to get the last word. I dont engage in those types of fights...if difficult child's behavior warrants it then he gets consequences. My approach is different. When he has been at my house to do homework, I have an office where we go in together and close the door to the rest of the world. I sit right by him to kind of nudge him along, and then give him breaks....something like- if you do these two worksheets u can go play on the computer for 10 minutes...then we come back and do more. Anyway....difficult child said that he thinks he will do better in school and he thinks it will be good for his relationship with his dad to avoid the homework fights with him. [/QUOTE]
