[quote=Anonymous]You could try normalizing going over schoolwork by starting small and gradually increasing the interaction. So explain your goals like "I'd like to understand better what you're doing in school and help you to succeed. I can tell you don't like to talk about homework much, so I'll try to step back. It's your job anyway. But I am curious what you're learning about. How about we try this week that every day after dinner at 7pm, you just show me your list of homework for the day. I promise not to make any comments. Each day we get through that, you get a star. If I slip up and make a comment, you get two stars. What do you think would be a good reward for getting 5 stars?" And then try that. Don't say a word, just have a look. Then the next week, add a little more, maybe you look over her homework progress for one class, not just the assignment list, but the actual work. Etc.

Adjust the plan to your situation but remember to comment as little as possible.

You also mentioned therapy, so you may want to run this problem and potential solutions over with your child's therapist.[/quote]
