Home Work Woes
| Sun, 02-11-2007 - 2:27am |
Gabrielle has been giving me a hard time about doing her home work since Sept. It's gotten progressivlly worse despite the fact that she has lost points in multiple subjects, the teacher keeps having to send notes home and she got in trouble by the principal. She has no sense of responsibility she doesn't copy down her assinments properly and she procrastinates something awful. She sat in her room the other day for six hours and did't complete one assignment. I don't know what to do I can't keep driving myself crazy and I can't always be on top of her. What can/should I do about this?

Trish, I'm sorry you're going through this with Gabrielle.

My daughter had problems like that about a year ago. I too did not have time to sit down with her. But I realized that in order for her to understand she needs to do it. I had to find out how she learned. Once I did that I now know that reading upside down works for her. Although I hate that. However, I have made her sit in quiet rooms and helped her as much as I could. Its hard and things to lack around the house. But you need to find out what works for her. Trial and error as a dr would say. I wish you the best and keep showing her you care. Becides by the time she gets older she will figure it out.
