[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Op here. I am SO patient to a point. Quiet, calm, supportive, helpful. I sit with him at the table if that’s what he wants. I make suggestions, recommendations, offer guidance, like I really can’t think of a better way to approach it. But when he gets defiant and starts screaming, it is really challenging to keep my cool. [/quote] You need to talk to him at a homework-free time and say you've noticed he's been getting frustrated, but what you've been doing doesn't seem to be helping. Take a cue from How to Talk So Kids Will Listen" and write down every idea he has for what to do. Then say your goal is for him to be self-reliant, and on the way there is "Not getting screamed at about his homework." Which solutions will help? [/quote]
