10 year old DS and HOMEWORK!!
Hey,
My DS is 10 and has never been a child who likes doing school work. He struggled to read for along time but now is where he should be, But now he is getting older and the homework is getting harder he just couldnt care less how it looks, if its right, if he has put in enough effort or anything. I am so sick of the drama of getting him to do it. He will make every excuse to not do it. Im sick of the fighting to get him to write neatly and make it look nice.
My DH thinks I should just let him do whatever and if he gets in trouble at school then that's his problem, The issue I have with doing this is that these days it feels like its all on the parents to get them to do it, I dont think he should be allowed to scribble on a piece of paper and call that homework, there is some responsibility on the parent isnt there?.
I help him all the time ( most of the time I feel like I do all the ideas ).
If I send him to his room to do it he gets hardly anything done. Last week I helped him and he got top marks! the first time he has gotten top marks for eveything and I thought maybe this would encourage him but NO!!.:wall::wall::wall::wall:
He fights with me all the time about when he should do it. Iv tried to get him to set a time. Iv taken things away from him if hes being rude and not doing it?.
I guess I just feel like im at my wits end.
He is an absolute angel at school and always gets the top awards for being a lovely child.
I guess I was wondering if anyone else has had a child like this and have found a solution?
TIA
