[QUOTE="buddy, post: 510566, member: 12886"] In third grade Q tried martial arts too and while he loved it it was not good for him at all. He still years later asks when he can try again and I just give evasive answers. For some kids it is a great thing, for many.... it can really not be good. But there are other activities and mine does well with track, swimming, things that are repetitive and dont require such intensive memory work and following directions etc. For homework, I too just decided that was not a battle for our family that worked for a long time. I now do have him read for a certain amount of time...for him because that is challenging and it needs to be recorded on a chart for school it is homework. I know some people who say any type of homework is ok but they only have to do 20 minutes and then what is done is done until the next day. In his IEP there should be supported work times (and they can't take away recess or lunch.... those are important times that if they take away he may have more struggle through the day, HUGE mistake to take recess from an adhd kid especially, in my humble opinion) . There have been a few times Q has had little projects we have done... and we make a you do a step I do a step then we high five and yeah, it is exhausting but making a game out of it was the only way we got through. If I had to do that nightly... NO WAY. Has he had testing for auditory processing, language issues, fine motor, visual processing, etc.. and checking to see about Learning Disability (LD) (that is another one that is hard to actually quantify at that age... just not enough academics to show a gap between ability and achievement quite yet unless a super dramatic case).... but some of these other things they can start to see a little more....Worth investigating over the next year since he seems to struggle so much... and it seems like one of those cases where you need to know for sure that the learning challenges are not looking like adhd (how can you attend and not want to escape and refuse if you are not understanding things and not able to keep things in the right order or move easily the way they want or to write things etc... I am sure you have thought all this, just processing with you here.... smile) by the way, I always smile when I see your description of difficult child-12 (really a easy child?? so funny) I have to admit I actually kind of fell asleep in the middle of a sentence here, so I am going to go to bed but apologize if I changed topics or anything does not make sense, lol.... good, maybe I will really sleep tonight --snore [/QUOTE]
