Absolutely stunning...<BR/><BR/>As for your son, all I can think of right now is that there has to be some sort of motivation for him to want to do it...ie: a reward of some sort that will entice him. Unfortunately I have no idea what that could be or if "bribery" is even a helpful option. Have you tried talking to his teachers? I'm sure they have had several students with the same situation over the years and may have some insight as to what worked for others? Or an online group for suggestions...wish I could just suggest the answer you're looking for, but I know you would have tried everything already that I could ever come up with. Hope you've figured this out by now since I'm so late in responding.<BR/><BR/>DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604117381667550428.post-75125177872171360442008-02-13T21:28:00.000-05:002008-02-13T21:28:00.000-05:00I am going to sit down with him, that is a good id...I am going to sit down with him, that is a good idea. I tried tonight but he claims he doesn't know his assignments and doesn't have the right books etc. Yeah right. Tomorrow he is supposed to have them. We used to do the timer thing when he was in 6th and 7th grade and it worked then but doesn't work anymore, he simply doesn't do the work even for 15 minutes and will be at the table for three or more hours and do nothing.PaperSunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813660109619002956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604117381667550428.post-1490241616268756522008-02-13T19:26:00.000-05:002008-02-13T19:26:00.000-05:00OK, on further thought I was wondering if using a ...OK, on further thought I was wondering if using a timer would work. He could set it for 15 minutes and work really hard for that time and then when it goes off he can do whatever he wants for 15 minutes or whatever you think would be good and then when the timer goes off for that time he sets it for 15 minutes for the next round of homework and continues until he is done with his homework. Hey, I know I may not be helping a whole lot but I thought I would give it a shot. Hope he sees the light soon. E-Mail me if you want to.<BR/><BR/>Take care, Lori.<BR/>CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227580806051774144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604117381667550428.post-62601012892060799992008-02-13T09:38:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:38:00.000-05:00Love the card!!

It looks great!<BR/><BR/>As for your teenage son I am not there yet but I think if one of mine were to have an issue with getting homework done I think I would sit down with him until it was done (a sacrifice for you of your time, I know). I know that won't work when he goes to college 'cause you won't be there but maybe if you do it often enough he will get the picture that that is the only choice he has. Of course since I have no experience with teenagers you may take that with a grain of salt (whatever that means).<BR/><BR/>Take care, Lori.<BR/>CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227580806051774144noreply@blogger.com
