[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the child, OP, so do what you think is best!

My 7 year old has an ADD/executive functioning disorder and needs help with organization and staying focused.[/quote]

17:30 here. Both of my kids (ages 7 and 9) have ADHD and we have always worked with the teacher on organization strategies.  I still stay out of the homework. Kids need to learn consequences.[/quote]

NP here -- also withe a child with ADHD -- just FYI he didn't struggle significantly with homework until he hit 4th grade.   UP until 3rd grade I would have been able to say the same thing -- "I stay out of HW, he needs to learn the consequences etc" but when he hit 4th grade it became clear that he was only learning to give up because he was not capable of figuring out what he needed to do to improve.

Also -- if my second child had been my first, I would had thought I was the worlds best, most relaxed mom about HW.   What's the big problem?   Wow, so much in child raising depends upon the type of child you have and what his/her temperament is![/quote]
