Hi,
Just letting you know that it isn't just a boy thing. My DD is the same and always has been. Not really sure what you can do about it tho, I'm still battling. But what I try to do is get her to do what she has been asked without delay and I have to keep at her. Also with her homework I have found she works best when she sits in her room and listens to music with no-one with her.
HTH
