[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 123470, member: 4424"] Wow! Sounds like mom is ruining this child's future. I really don't understand the parents that refuse the help being offered to their kid. It's my experience that a child having that much trouble doing their schoolwork won't take responsibility for getting things wrong. This is in part because their self esteem is so low. After all, the other kids in her class can probably do the work with little trouble. It's encouraging that she's doing hw at all. Many kids just stop doing the work putting in any effort. That way when they fail it's because they didn't bother, not because THEY really couldn't do it. I don't know what to say about the mom, I'm not sure what your relationship is to the child. But I would say to keep trying. I know how frustrating it can be but it sounds like you're the only one helping her. I would try to be patient and maybe pay attention to the words I'm using. Instead of asking what grade she got on something ask what grade she earned, etc. She does have to learn to take responsibility and to accept help. It doesn't sound like she's used to either one. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
