[QUOTE="witzend, post: 210978, member: 99"] Someone said the other day that she compares her child to a blind child when deciding whether he deserves "help" or "punishment". If a blind child accidentally knocks a vase off the table and breaks it, you do not punish. If a blind child throws the vase, you find a consequence. I would ask if you feel that your daughter is doing this on purpose or because she has something that is keeping her from participating more appropriately in school. If it's the latter it seems unfair (and unlikely to help) to restrict recess. It will just make her more angry about school. Not to be rude, but isn't it more incumbent upon your husband to change than it is upon your daughter? He's the adult here, and he is supposed to guide and help her. If he has the time and can learn how to be a home school teacher, and it can help your daughter get up to speed, why won't he? [/QUOTE]
