[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, It's still early days and the transition back to school can be bumpy. I agree with PPs that I wouldn't exactly let him fail, and also try to establish work habits. My LD kid gives us unexpected push back on things he knows need to happen and that are routine. I think it's the combination of the LDs, anxiety, emerging puberty, and trying to assert independence. I would speak to the teacher and let her know the issue you're facing. Maybe there can be a quick sit down with the 3 of you to draw up a "contract" so to speak. Both he and you can sign on the dotted line to commit to following the agenda/homework review process every night. I'd also suggest positive reinforcement. Praise for following through on the review process. (Kazdin Method elaborates on this.)[/quote] He already committed to a contract with us - but just won't follow it. His teachers have the same expectations for this process.[/quote]
