[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was she like in elementary school? Was she under your careful supervision as far as turning in work then?[/quote] She wasn’t. She didn’t have much homework, and I guess the teachers themselves were diligent about them turning in work. [/quote] That’s the problem. She wasn’t used to doing it in Elementary so never learned how. Good habits weren’t built at home before middle school like they should have been. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to start helping develop good habits now before high school. It will take work on your end but I think you can do it. Establish a work zone at the kitchen table and have her do the work under your supervision to show you it’s done. Create a weekly calendar and bullet point assignments. Every day ask her what’s due and when. And no phone time until after work is completed. [/quote]
