[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 532106"] It's a cycle. She doesn't do the work because it's overwhelming to her, but then she sits down to try to work on something and she is overwhelmed because there is SO much for her to work on. Is it possible to break down what she needs to do? Step 1 is this, get that done. That's done? Okay, step 2 is this. Try working on that. Sounds simplistic, but it could be that she sees all those steps and just shuts down because the project as a whole is overwhelming, when she really needs to try to look at it in pieces. Can you call her guidance counselor and see if they can give her help at school? Maybe after school with the teacher in the library? [/QUOTE]
