[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 199818, member: 4334"] I agree she is on a lot of medications. Right now she is in a slow decline of the Lexapro, it was lowered last psychiatric visit, and the next visit it will go down more. We've made several attempts to get her off of Clomipramine, however each time the dosage has gone down on that she has become more physically aggressive/assaultive. I would like to completely back away from homework. My difficult child will NOT do it if I don't already know about it. In 6th grade I took one semester off of being on her for homework, just told her when it was to be done, make sure it gets done. Did you know that she got mainly D's & F's that semester, and it was due to missing work? In 7th grade the first semester I tried a different approach, putting her in charge of her homework, but also staying in contact with-teachers somewhat, and half-heartedly staying after her to do it. That semester she had over 60 missing/late assignments! (she eventually got the majority turned in) So doing nothing won't work. Because D's and F's at school do not bother her one bit, nor does detention. She has an agenda and is supposed to fill it out, that is not working well. But right now my concern is how much time is being put into this homework. My difficult child also goes to a Day Program after school every day (however she's off this Weds, Thurs, Fri). Basically she does not get home until 5:30 PM after I pick her up. Day Program does not allow time for homework. She does have a study hall at school and I *think* she may be doing some work in there, but I am not totally sure. [/QUOTE]
