[quote=Anonymous]DS is in Kindergarten and he is very resistant to homework.  He enjoys going to school and his recent FCPS report card was great and I hear nothing, but positive things from his teacher.  However, he is very resistant to any kind of homework that he is supposed to do over the course of the week.  It is not a lot of work by any means, but he is sloppy with his work, throws tantrums and tells us this is boring, takes too long etc..  He would rather play outside, invite friends over or build with his Lego blocks.  I understand that he has had a long day at school, but we encounter the same issues on the weekend.  This is getting very frustrating and I would like to find a better way to handle his and ultimately our frustrations with this homework issue.  I have been patient so far and not lost my temper, but he is really pushing me to the breaking point.  We did 'snow day' work this morning after breakfast and he got angry, threw his pencils on the floor, started crying etc.  I finally sent him to his room to cool off.

I'm really worried that this is only going to get worse as the workload will increase during 1st or 2nd grade.  What can we do to motivate him and make this a fun learning experience?  I don't really want to bribe etc., but I admit, I have taken away TV privileges as punishment for throwing tantrums already.

Ideas?[/quote]
