[quote=Anonymous]My 6-year-old refuses to do the 5-10 minutes of homework a night. It's regular worksheet stuff. We're 100% sure he knows the material (because he talks about it at non-homework time, is reading just fine, etc.), but he's not really into structure and rules in general and prefers to work on his own projects. We know homework can be tedious and feel like BS, but we don't think 5-10 minutes is too much to ask, and plus it's a life skill to get yourself to do what you don't want to do. We've tried lowering standards (ok, just sit down and do 20% of what is required), taking away privileges (exhausting for us to enforce), rewards (he gets the next installment of a story) to no avail. He's generally strong-willed and somewhat scattered, but other than with homework, the range of cooperation/non-cooperation is within the range of what we deem acceptable. What to do? TIA.[/quote]
