[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 402715"] Thanks all-you are awesome! NVTS and MWM- We actually did try for the neuropsychologist- in our initial appointment she (the neuropsychologist) refused to do an evaluation. She said whatever she found (and she was pretty sure what she'd find-adhd) would only cause more dissent between Ex-H and I over how we'd treat it. She went on & on about how our conflict would eventually cause the ruin of difficult child. I haven't asked for a referral yet to the one other neuropsychologist in our area because I felt so chastised by the first neuropsychologist. Maybe I should try the second one...I just hate the idea of having to pay for another appointment at which we get cut off at the knees... Bunny/NVTS- I do think there is a very strong anxiety component to the homework avoidance. It seems at its worst when an oral report is coming due- but coincidentally these are also the assignments for which the longest prep time is given. I think he may also have trouble organizing but he refuses my help. Maybe he just can't face the fact that the prep will lead to an oral report. I have major social anxiety myself- I had to give a presentation at a conference for work a couple years ago and the only way I got through it was to practice almost to the point of memorization. Daisy- I wish I had more control of his after-school routine but he goes to afterschool care until almost 6. I work til 5, then pick up Sprite at her daycare, then Knight at his (He was kicked out of Sprite's daycare last summer, since then I have had the dual pickup headache). We get home, I immediately cook supper, so we are lucky to have 90 minutes together for homework and family time before bed. The policy at aftercare is they give the students the opportunity to do homework while there, but won't force them. The lure of an activity in the gym or outside (when its above zero!) beats the lure of homework every time! I noticed last night Knight didn't pack his homework to go to Dad's. Sprite forgot something here at home so when I deliver it today, I think I will just ask if he wants the homework. If he says no, I won't say any more. [/QUOTE]
