[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 38733, member: 2423"] I'm sorry. I think difficult children this age have trouble connecting the dots, as in seeing that if they get good grades, they can go to college. And I honestly don't think punishments and hounding them about homework make a lick of difference. In fact, these techniques may actually do more harm than good. I'm wondering if your difficult child has some anxiety that is getting in the way. The stressed out, pounding on her chest feeling made me think of it. While Adderall can help ADHD symptoms, it can also exacerbate anxiety. She may need medications and/or therapeutic interventions to address anxiety. I'm also wondering if a tutor might help. Not a tutor in a specific subject, but a kind of coach who will work with her to organize herself and get her homework done. difficult children frequently respond better to outside help over help from mom or dad. Here's hoping you find some answers soon. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
