[quote=Anonymous]Equally "bad" parent here. Homework, even with medication, is a struggle with DS, 8. There are days he does things great and other days when it is just horrible. For me, the worst is feeling that he's not making the effort - as we try to tell him, we don't expect perfection but we expect a good effort. The difference is very apparent from his attitude and the way he approaches things. Compounding the guilt is the near-certainty that he also has (still formally) undiagnosed LDs. He has an IEP but it is so clear this year that there has to be other stuff going on (we're in the process of scheduling a neuropsych exam to try to get a better handle on things). In some ways, I sometimes feel we're too tough - on the other hand, there are lots of things with him that we do praise... Ugh - it's not easy. It feels like a rollercoaster ride with lots of ups and downs.[/quote]
