[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 120101, member: 1161"] Just wanting to add my Hi and welcome. Don't know as I have any advice for you, as my difficult child at 14 still starts every day off by growling at me "I don't want to go to school". He is quite smart, but homework is a struggle still. His math tests are averaging 95%, but his overall mark right now is low 70's because of incomplete/not done homework. A woman I know who is a high school teacher told me yesterday "don't feel you're alone, almost none of them study". LOL I was hoping she had some advice for me on how to get him to do it. I too take away the electronics, as that is my difficult child's "currency", what he values most. Sometimes it takes a day or two, but it does work for us in the end, when it gets too painful for him to go without. Oh, and go ahead and scream, it's always a release for me when I go to my room, close the door, and do it. Seems to make the kids better for the day if they are home when I do it and hear it. I think they know that mom has totally reached her limit when I do. Again welcome, and hope you can find the support you need here. [/QUOTE]
