I am hoping this is the forrm that can help me with this . . . 3 months ago we were placed with 3 siblings from foster care. The plan has been adoption from the beginning and the birth parents are already tpr'd. The oldest will be 7 tomorrow. He is in 2nd grade and really struggling. But he is only struggling because he won't do the work. He totally knows how. We have struggled with doing homework since the first day of school. I use to spend 2 - 3 hours a day trying to get him to do 4 pages of homework (but I have 3 other kids). I finally said I would give him one hour a day (if he wanted he could finish in about 30 minutes or less). After that he has to deal with the consequences. At home he obviously gets no TV or play time until his 4 pages a day are done. And if it is turned in incomplete on Fri he gets no TV on the weekend (TV also means computer). And he misses out on our family activity Fri night (it is a reward activity for good behavior). Often it is just movie night in the front room. This week, unfortunately for him it is trick-or-treating. I was really hoping to not have to follow through with that one. But he just does not care. He will sit at the table for hours and NOT touch his homework. Please give me some advice!
