[QUOTE="Andy, post: 199692, member: 5096"] Hi Topsy, You will soon see that I don't have much experience with the medications and signs of various diagnosis. I do however, like to help in other areas. So, I am going to ask if your husband is home when your son gets home from school. Is there a time after school that your difficult child is home before dad gets home? Can homework be done at that time? I wonder if your difficult child is using this as a way to get dad's attention? When dad wasn't around the home work went smoother. Can you encourage your husband to spend a few minutes every night with difficult child? Maybe reviewing the homework and praising that it got done so quickly? Maybe just watching a show together or going for a walk? Maybe they already do something every night and I am way off base? I have part of the same issues with my difficult child who can also do the work correctly when he puts his time into it. He wants to just write down whatever and checking work is a waste of time to him. I get so furious because math was always my favorite subject - I wish my kids enjoyed it like I did. And when you are able to check your work, you should not get any or very few wrong. But, my kids don't care. How do you motivate someone to want to do their best? [/QUOTE]
