[quote=Anonymous]I think both suggested HW approaches are good - just not at the same time. Start with the hands on approach, not to do his homework but to help him get a good routine set up for HW (consistent time of day and place in house to do HW, how to keep binder/assignments organized, things along these lines) and how to get started (prompts like, "break it into small pieces" or "what do you know about the problem?"). Even if he did not need this in his prior school, perhaps the change in routine moving to a new school has left him feeling unsettled and I would help him find new routines. After some period of time when you think he's got the routine down, then stick to the prompts, gradually making them less and less. I am not a fan of completely leaving a kid with executive function problems to flounder over his HW, because that usually just amounts to the kid spending a lot of time to output very little quality work - would you be incentivized by that?[/quote]
