[quote=Anonymous]After school, our son gets a snack and then has to sit at the dining room table next to one of us. We go through all of his classes and makes a list of assessments and upcoming tests. We started having to go through class by class and making the list with him but now he’s getting better about keeping up with it independently. Then he needs to sit at the table until his homework is done. If he gets distracted, we redirect back to homework but otherwise try hard not to nag him, get irritated, etc. Not pointing out that if he would just focus and stop complaining, he would be done already takes much more self control than it should.

It’s been a painful process but he has gotten better about just doing it. I am not sure what we are going to do when I go back to working at the office full time. Trying to do homework after dinner is the kiss of death for us- he’s just too tired.

One final thought- you might want to talk to his pediatrician because he might have underlying anxiety or other issues that need to be addressed. [/quote]
