[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her do things that are ok (doodle in margins) and give her alternatives for things that are not ("I don't want to be tapped by the workbook, but you can tap it on the table" or whatever). For the reviewing the homework helper, explain when she is calm that you will always look at it so you can teach her the same way she's learning in school. And then always look at it so it becomes part of the routine.[/quote]

This sounds similar to our ADHD kid last year and this year we haven't had all the drama. I checked with teacher about the doodles and they didn't see them as a problem as long as the work was done. We ended up time boxing homework. It gave it an end to see the visual timer going. Also teacher said the homework at that time was to get used to doing homework thus ok if not done at home, it would be the extra work during school at the right time. We got through the other side. Child's therapist at the time said the mean mom comments would be temporary and they were. Good luck.[/quote]
