[QUOTE="ML, post: 211758"] I like the money idea. Manster's 4th grade did a lottery whereby they received chances to win based upon things they did right. He lost all his chances early on and then felt "why bother, I already lost the lottery". But he doesn't like to "get in trouble" or displease his teacher and these things motivate him the most. Our homework battles are more along the lines of it being just "too much". I help him with it and can't imagine him doing it all without help. It's a lot even for a easy child. We cheat in little ways like taking turns reading for the required 30 minutes which is usually 15-20. I too am a reminderer. But we do have a nightly routine. Some day I will have to ease out of the reminding business. I think it's good that you encourage that level of independence. [/QUOTE]
