[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475804, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. I have to tell you that I hate homework! I think it's a terrible thing for younger kids and if it causes issues for a child in the way that it does for your son, there should be a possibility to drop it. I have read - but am not sure whether it was in connection with the States - that a child with diagnosed ADHD could be excused homework under the terms of the IEP or equivalent. Might be worth looking into? If your son is more or less happy where he is, and the school is amenable, which it reallys sounds like it is, I would personally think more about keeping him there. He has already had a lot of changes. Better the devil you know... I agree that home schooling sounds like too much to take on. I see these kind of issues with my son all the time - not with homework but where he doesn't want to do something. I can usually find a way to get him to do it by keeping things very light and unstressy, and also by making things into fun and a game. Of course, my son is only 4 but I think the principle might stand good. Stress and pressure do not go down well and make a bad situation worse. If actually sounds as if your son is not too far away from finding a solution with all this - he is just getting upset at the moment, but that's just emotion, and emotions change... particularly with toddlers and teenagers! See what dropping the whole homework crisis achieves... [/QUOTE]
