[QUOTE="Andy, post: 379726, member: 5096"] How about "No computer until tonight's homework is done - including studying for tests" That would mean for test nights you will need to glance through the material and quiz them to see if they are actually prepared. Another thing to do, does your kids' school have a Homework Help room? My difficult child has that available before and after school. I encourage him to use it after school just to get his homework done for the day. The students do not need to be struggling to be allowed to go into the classroom and do the work. There is a teacher there to help if need be but it is not a requirement that only kids needing help can work in there. Last year when I picked up difficult child on the first time, I went into the room and was pleased to see that all the homework assignments from each class was displayed on the board so the students can review and if they forgot an assignment be reminded. It is still early in the year. Try working on the homework time and space issue. Be supportive of what is needed - pencils, paper, quiet or background noise (difficult child says he needs a distraction while doing his homework). Have each kid give input on what will work best. My difficult child does his work as soon as he gets home if he has not stayed after. I know many kids need a break - if so, come up with appropriate break time activities (no computer!), most likely a snack, and a time limit for this break. [/QUOTE]
