[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 421646, member: 1991"] We have a rule with difficult child 3 - "school work during school hours". No watching TV (unless it's a documentary relevant to his work). No skiving off. Even if he is sick - the only way out is to sleep, and he only sleeps if he is really ill with a fever. What I find helps, is to focus positively on the work that has been done. difficult child 3's worksheets are numbered, and it is a big thing when e get to double figures for any subject, even though it is supposed to be one sheet per subject per week. I also second the suggestion to get her assessed for mental processing. If she's skiving off, the tests will show it for sure. But if there are other problems, the testing could then force the school to provide better coverage with tutors. We've just been through this with difficult child 3 - we had no idea he had deteriorated so much in such a short time. Knowing the fine detail now, will give us some sense of direction in what to do for him. Before that - we were shooting blanks in the dark. Marg [/QUOTE]
