[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 149954, member: 23"] Could be the medication. Could be the ADHD. Could be the anxiety. Could be a combination of all. We've had the same homework problems in the past. I had to make a decision -- my son's mental health, regaining control of the home environment, etc. It wasn't worth the upset it caused all around and difficult child wasn't getting the supports in school he needed, so I backed off the homework. For our difficult child, anxiety is much more a problem than the ADHD. When the anxiety symptoms escalate, he acts like he's not on an ADHD medication; other neurological disorders that appeared gone or previously remediated return. Kids with ADHD and other disorders are often mentally fatigued when they get home from school. It's takes so much energy and concentration to be "on" all day at school, that there's little to none left for homework, et al. Hope things smooth out for both of you soon -- couldn't pay me enough to return to the homework wars. [/QUOTE]
