Well my BF's 7yr old has math homework again. Last week her teacher was out and they had subs and no homework. Last week was great. Now back to her taking an hour to do 3 problems. She has had a snack which is fine. If she went to her grandmas after school it would be done. When i pick her and her 12yr old sis up from grandmas at 430 after work a couple times a week her homework is done. She goes there has snack then pulls papers out and gets it done. WTH is the problem here? Today she brought a paper home for after school activity thur. I told her if you would like to keep your after school activity then you should get your work done. Also i said "you can sit at the table all night long I dont care its your time your wasting". Sometimes she will throw a fit pound table, yell, cry and say i cant do it. I say well did you ask for help. she says no. i say well? she asks for help then i sit beside her. It takes awhile sometimes even if i help her she fights it saying she doesnt know. she does just stalling. I took a break from typing this to help her no fighting or yelling from her just sat at table for over hour messing around but at least its done and she was super quite wow. She did spend the night with grandma last night. While there, bedtime is bedtime they hush and get to sleep. maybe that made the difference in her today. They listen to her. Guess she put fear in them long ago. Wish i had that power. here they share room and bed time they fight and wont even be sleeping till 10 when go bed 830 9. Oh at grandmas they also sleep in same room. Think prob is dad has not had inforced rules. guess we need to talk and come up with concequence for everything. If dont go bed without fuss, homework issue, fighting at dinner table, fighting period. Everything has a consequence. any advice would be great examples of what you did in similar situation.
