[quote=Anonymous]Unless you think this could be depression or anxiety (which are worth ruling out), honestly, I'd back off. If you are checking his assignments every day, he probably feels like you are hounding him while you feel like you're helping him. He needs to realize he needs help and to want to seek it out. Until then, he most likely won't respond positively to an EF coach. He has to want it. I'd sit him down and let him know that you trust him to do his work and that you're there if he needs any help (or that you'd be happy to get him another EF coach or tutor, if that's what he wants). Then, I'd see what happens. This power dynamic sounds like it is damaging your relationship. I'd also suggest the book The Self-Driven Child. Kids need connection, autonomy, and a sense of competence. I sense he feels all 3 are missing right now. Once he's ready, outsourcing this help can really help your relationship with him - which is what is really most important.[/quote]
