[quote=Anonymous]If you want him to function well for the rest of grade school and college, you just need to get through this. Right or wrong, we're judged on the completion of homework. Eventually, his ability to complete assignments will impact his GPA and likely impact his ability to get an interview. Society has set a standard, so get used to it. I only have a 1st grader, but he loves reading and math, not much into writing, so we have to nudge him a lot and sit with him through the writing assignments. He goes to extended day daily from 3:30-6 after school so that's plenty of playtime for him from my perspective. He should learn to do an assigned activity as that's what will be expected of him when he grows up and beyond. Break up the hw time. do some on the weekends. create an incentive/reward for completing on time etc. Giving up isn't really a good model to follow at this young of age.[/quote]
