[QUOTE="Andy, post: 199967, member: 5096"] I like your latest plan. Don't give up on it. It may take several days for your difficult child to figure out that it will work. She needs time to adjust. I love Marg's ideas also. The healthy snacks on the table may help also. Something else that might help: The right "tools" to add some fun on a different level: 1. Does your difficult child like dry erase boards? Get a small one and a variety of colored markers for it. difficult child can use that as her "scrap paper" to work out the problems and then copy them neatly to her paper. 2. If the school allows, get the black lined paper with colored gel pens to write out answers. Tell her that will only work as long as the work is neat and legible. 3. Maybe giving her poster boards for her to make her own math tables. 4. Give her index cards to write words she is not sure of. You can then try to write their meanings in her understanding level then ask her to write a sentence using the word. Have some short term goals: 1. When homework is done, you get to stay up an extra 15 minutes. 2. When homework is done all week, you get to choose a movie to watch Friday night. 3. Once homework is done, I will sing you a song (or do something very silly - crack an egg on my head or walk barefoot in the snow). 4. Once homework is done, I will play a game with you. Sounds goofy I know, but sometimes that is the level we need to reach to get them to relax and get the work done without feeling defensive about it. [/QUOTE]
