[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have decent study/organizational skills now?  That might be the first step.  There are tutors for study skills or books like Homework Made Simple etc.

Secondly, medication late in the day probably is not going to be helpful b/c she could end up with insomnia.

Third, does she know how to cook or are there prepared meals that she can heat up and eat?  Having her eat dinner b/f you get home leaves plenty of time for her to do homework starting at 7 pm.

So starting at 7, her phone goes in the charger for the night.  Review what she needs to do for the next day, that week, the coming weeks until she seems to have the handle on how to structure her time.  Set the timer for 20 minutes.  Let her take 5 minute breaks.  Have hand fidgets like stress balls, etc. while she works.  Until structuring her time comes more easily, make sure everything is packed up the the next day b/f she goes to bed[/quote]

she coooks but when it comes to homework is a no no [/quote]
