[quote=Anonymous]OP, don't feel badly. It's hard. My SN kid is pretty laid back and since he was 5 (he's 9 now) has been willing to do 60-90 minutes of "work" with me for a freaking lollipop. It's not all academics but a lot of it is. My NT kid would kill or die to avoid spending 60-90 minutes doing "work" with me. Luckily, he doesn't need to. Maybe it's just too much during the school year? Once my kid started school full time I dialed back the "work" from daily to just weekends and vacations. Because they have him for 7 hours at school. They need to figure out how to make that time meaningful. Maybe ask his teacher to pick 1 or 2 things you could focus on at home so you are not trying to do too much? Also, flash cards were very helpful for my son and recommended by the reading specialist. I also found some iPad sight word games to mix it up a little. But all kids are different. Maybe your child's teacher or a private specialist could give you some ideas.[/quote]
