[QUOTE="Andy, post: 214556, member: 5096"] Ugh big time! Why can not teachers understand that you can not MAKE someone do their homework? I have had struggles at times also but if the kid absolutely refuses, you just can not make it happen. The only thing you can do is try some strategies to get it done before the signs of meltdown (yes, you do know way ahead of time if your difficult child is not in the homework mode that night). Is there an option of you picking him up from school? A few times, my difficult child was willing to do his homework at school after school. Talk to the teacher and ask if there is time during school that he may not be utilizing well to do the work. She can work with him on those times to get it done. That would put it back into her lap. Ask if other kids have the same homework load - are they getting the work done during school? I know of one friend who has it in her son's IEP that he is not to have homework. I don't know how that works - maybe someone will come on to help in this area. Last year when my difficult child was having anxiety issues, his teachers asked if reducing his math homework would help. We noticed that he started out doing very well and almost all wrong answers were at the end of the assignment. The teacher said she could see he understood the concept but lost focus at the middle of the assignment. I am so glad you came out of lurkness! I hope (and am sure) some one here can give you more advise then I have been able to. [/QUOTE]
