Guest guest Posted February 10, 2001 Report Share Posted February 10, 2001 Hi, all - We're trying new tack #1100 on helping our son focus on his homework. His teacher has agreed to give us the homework assignments the Friday before so he has the weekend to start on them. She has no concern about his knowledge and comprehension, only about his ability to stay in the here-and-now when not interacting. So, we've done that for a week and a half. They have a short day on Fridays, so he has more time in the evening to look over everything for the next week (it absolutely helps him to have as much of the agenda as possible), then make a start. His incentive is us taping the Saturday morning programs he normally watches. If he can get through a reasonable amount of work by Saturday afternoon, he can watch them. He gets to pace himself, and is really in control of the agenda. We're simply in control of the incentive. Now, he can start the week with some of the terribly boring stuff out of the way, do the engaging stuff as it comes along, and not end up mired in hours upon hours of homework each evening. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
