[quote=Anonymous]My 9yo has a recent autism/adhd diagnosis. She is Roblox obsessed, but respects the limit that she needs to prioritized homework over screen time. The trouble begins if the homework is tricky. She is in compacted math. She will ask me for help and then berate me for having to study the homework helper before helping her. Yesterday, she started vigorously doodling around the edges of the pages. I have blocked out exactly what she said to me, but it was unpleasant. I told her we needed to taking a break until she calmed down and stopped speaking to me that way. She began crying and telling me I had to help her. Then she was very lightly tapping me with the workbook. I told her she couldn’t do that. I probably should have walked away, but she was both sad and angry as she demanded my help. Eventually, we worked through it and she was able to confidently do 2/3 of the problems. Any recommendations for the future? I stayed outwardly calm, but it is stressful when she does this kind of thing with me. She doesn’t do it with her dad.[/quote]
