[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 566923, member: 1967"] TM, you probably won't like my answer but I think you should leave the room and let her finish it on her own. If she doesn't, let her face the consequences. It would be better to get a bad grade in 6th grade and learn a life lesson than get a good grade now because you had to stay in the room with her to get it done. Sadly, I didn't learn that lesson myself until it was too late. I "helped" difficult child with everything and made sure it all got done but I think I just instilled a sense in her that she was helpless and couldn't do things on her own. Yes, she got excellent grades but it didn't help develop important life skills. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
