[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 101548, member: 2287"] My difficult child is in middle school this year, sixth grade. When we had his ARD for his IEP meeting the end of the school year last year, one of the attendees was the school district's lead psychologist. One of the issues I brought up was the WAR we had at home over homework. It was horrible and I felt that my difficult child had no safe place....it was war at school with no allys, war at home with me or husband being the martyr. The lead psychologist quickly put an end to that problem for us....no homework. On our own, I still insist on reading for 20 min. and practicing his trumpet (what a laugh!), but really, our children need to have some place, some where, that adults aren't nagging all the time. My poor difficult child was being nagged and punished day after day at school and home. It needed to stop. I'm so grateful that there was someone who understood that our difficult children are human beings and need to feel wanted and loved. My difficult child felt attacked at every turn. husband has always maintained that his teachers don't have to work ELEVEN hours a day, so how can they expect a difficult child to work eleven hours a day? Add to the stress being UNmedicated by then...and you have a war. [/QUOTE]
