[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t force him to do homework, but I also wouldn’t let him use any screens. If he wants to not do homework, and run around outside, play do puzzles, help cook, etc. great. If he wants to just sit around on a iPad, no. I see this frequently…kids don’t want to do anything that takes them away from their screens. If they kid never has a screen in the first place, they will be far more likely to do homework, reading with you or other academic-based work when you ask. [/quote] My ADHD kid had zero screens at age 6 and he still did what OP's son is doing. The homework refusal was a red flag for problems that increased with age. But like PPs said, some kids grow up and grow into homework. OP for now, +1 you should keep your DS away from screens. With homework, communicate with the teacher, wait and watch. [/quote]
