[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the no electronics rule on weeknights. Or let him do the 30 minutes "before" homework. Get some of it out of his system. OP, I'm in the camp that you offer some guidance and involvement with an eye toward helping him with his executive functioning skills and organization. I'd also try to tone down the perfectionism thing a bit. It's OK to make mistakes. It's OK to make a decision that he needs to invest more time and effort in algebra than in Spanish because of his needs/grades. Or whatever. In the business world, good managers help employees who have some challenges. I think it's much better to be part of a collaborative, team effort than to make people stick it out on their own. That does NOT mean do his homework at all. Just provide some supports with respect to organization and completion, if that makes sense.[/quote]
