AUTHOR: BEDAZZLEDDATE: 11/10/01 8:08am
SUBJECT: NOT INTERESTED IN DOING SCHOOL WORK
I HAVE AN 8 YEAR OLD SON WHO JUST STARTED 3RD GRADE. HE DOES NOT LIKE DOING HOMEWORK. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO HELP HIM AND GUIDE HIM AND HE REFUSES TO FOCUS AND CONCENTRATE. HE GIVES ME A HARD TIME ABOUT READING OR WRITING A STORY OR BOOK REPORT. I FIND MYSELF CONSTANTLY YELLING AT HIM BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS. I FEEL HE IS VERY LAZY AND HE ONLY WANTS TO GET BY WITH THE MINIMUM. I AM GOING CRAZY AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HELP HIM BECAUSE HE NEEDS THAT PUSH. IF I DON'T HELP HIM HE IS NOT GOING TO DO IT. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO PUT HIS THOUGHTS TOGETHER WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING A REPORT. I FEEL CONFUSED AND GUILTY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF HE US JUST PLAIN LAZY AND HE IS DELIBERATELY PUTTING A BLOCK OR HE REALLY HAS A PROBLEM FOCUSING. HE COMPLAINS AND GIVES ME A HARD TIME EVERY DAY AND YET HE GOES TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP!
