[QUOTE="Josie, post: 120887, member: 1792"] Heather, I'm not sure this is really within her control to change as much as you would like. She sounds just like my difficult child 2. For difficult child 2, she is able to do the math or whatever homework it is, but she gets it stuck in her head that she can't. Then she is truly unable to actually figure it out. Even though, if she would just sit down and do it, she would see that it wasn't that hard. Like your daughter, most things come easy to her so when it is not readily apparent to her, she gets extremely anxious. Often, if she goes away and comes back to it, she is able to do it. I don't think it is a matter of being lazy or of liking the drama. If it is anything like our house, how could she possibly like the drama that does happen? Maybe her medications need adjusting? Just my thoughts based on my daughter's experience. We don't have hers under control yet but are not having to deal with it right now. We have an agreement with the school that they will only grade what she does at school so she has no homework. I may have to homeschool her soon and then I am sure I will face the same situation.
