[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 199785, member: 2423"] I recommend taking a good hard look at her medications. She's on THREE antidepressants -- Lexapro, Clomipramine and Strattera. ADs can rev kids up instead of calming them down. Strattera, in particular, has a reputation for causing anger and aggression as a side effect. If she's cognitively and emotionally behind her peers, there's a chance she can't handle HW the way a typical 8th grader can. We handle the HW issues with my son by not fighting about it anymore. His HW, his problem, his consequences. If that doesn't feel right to you, you could find a high school student in your neighborhood to sit with your difficult child in the afternoons and help with HW. [/QUOTE]
