[quote=Anonymous]Does your DS have an IEP?  My oldest (ADHD/LD/anxiety) has a goal in his IEP related to homeowrk - identifying strategies for completing it and turning it on time X% over Y period.  He also took a class in MS that explicitly taught organization and study skills (he had to take it twice because he backslid after the first class).  I understand the challenge/desire, but he really needs to learn to do his homework independently and it's best he learn the painful lessons while in middle school.  I'm not saying to just cut him loose but work with the school to help him learn study/organization skills.

As far as managing activities, etc.  I've got 3 kids, 2 in HS and 1 in MS.  I gave up trying to go to every game/practice and car pooled.  There are a bunch of parents out there just like me who are juggling and I've never had problems getting/giving a ride when needed.  The kid also understand, and are okay with, us (me and DH) when we're not able to see them play.  You can't do it all.[/quote]
