[QUOTE="nvts, post: 197937, member: 3814"] Andy! Stop! Wait! I have an idea! OMG! We've been going through this for YEARS and I was basically going, well...NVTS! difficult child 1 is just short of brilliant, he speaks like a 30 year old and has since he we 1.5 years old. Year after year after year it was the same thing. Two hours fighting over homework and still not finished (15 min. assignments). Turned out the little bugger was memorizing what they were "saying" in school, could read but could not comprehend. We are now (he's in 5th grade!) in the beginning stages of diagnosis'ing learning disabilities. Think about it. He's just at the age where the work is becoming more his responsibiliies ("go home and read chapter 3 and let me know if you have questions). If he's having trouble reading/comprehending/processing, he's going to feel stupid, worthless, ignorant etc. Do yourself and your hair color a favor and have him tested. It could be eye-opening at best! Beth [/QUOTE]
