[quote=Anonymous]My DS went through something similar this year, starting a new school, and he is doing much better. I think its normal. There are new demands, its probably more difficult, and the routines are different. I don't think it ever works for parents to get involved in the substance of homework. It just amps up the tensions at home and, if successful, keeps the teachers from seeing where the student needs help. You should set up a structure for him to complete homework. Rules about when and where and what privileges have to wait until he's done. And then encourage him to meet with his teachers one on one to discuss problems. Learning how to take this step -- asking teachers for help -- was the most valuable skill my children acquired to make them successful students.[/quote]
