[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader is always blaming everyone else for everything wrong, and resists doing homework until I almost forcefully have to make him. His grades are bad because of him doing the bare minimum, but he's one of the smartest in the class. Its a struggle, and this is with meds. We're starting therapy again, not sure it will help. [/quote] For middle school I asked my son to list his homework he had, how much time each would take, and what time each thing would start.... so it looked like this English: 15 minutes - 5pm Science: 30 minutes - 7pm Math: 20 minutes - 8:30 I set a timer for the times. I don't know why this helped but it has. Also, my son CAN'T work in a quiet area/at a desk... the opposite of what we were told. So he listens to instrumental music.. his music/no words and sits on a couch. [/quote]
