My son refused to do his homework. 7th grade and 10th grade were the worst, he is 20 now. I never tried the lever because I had not heard about it, but I think Dr. Phil is right. My son flunked 3 classes in high school because he refused to do the homework. Like your son mine could easily pass tests. His philosophy was if I can get an A on the test why do the busy work. He still has this problem today in college, fortunately many classes are based on test grades and less on homework. His first year in college he even surprised us and was on the Deans List. So there is hope for your son.

Homework 101

I watched the program the other night with Velma and her son. I understand when she gets frustrated and discouraged. I have a 10 year old daughter who struggles daily with her homework. We sit for hours doing homework every night. But her situation is a lit' different. My daughter has severe learning disabilities. When it comes to homework in the evening she would rather be grounded than do her homework. It got to the point last year that she would leave it at school and tell me she didn't have homework. It was bad.
I then put a stop to her leaving her homework and not wanting to do it. Her teachers would send me her homework electronically everyday to my place of employment and I would print it off. I would take it home every evening and if I asked her if she had home work and she said "no" I would ask her if she had left it at school or for real she didn't have any. Most of the time she would have left it behind. So, I would have it for her. She was suprised the first few weeks of me bringing home her work, but she finally got the hang of it and started bringing it home herself. We also made a homework chart, and if she would bring her work home and complete it then she received a sticker for the day, and by the end of the week if all her days were filled then she could either have cash or save it up for the month and we would have Mom and Me time at the end of i month. This really helped her a lot. Another thing we tried if that if the work is forgotte

My son is 11 years old and its a fight every night when it comes time to get his homework. He has trouble reading and he hates to do his homework. He loves to do his math, but he hates to do spelling, english and reading. We've tried special charts, reward programs and even the teachers at school have even tried to help me try to think of different ways to help Robert to do his homework. He has special help in class to help with his class work and even sometimes she says he just wants to lay his head down on his desk and won't pay attention. I'm about at my wits end Please help! I've tried every thing I know to do And nothing has worked. I've grounded him, took his Play station away from him, his bicycle, and every thing else, I've even spanked him and nothing has worked. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks for listening.

I have gone through the same problem with my son for the past 7 years. Homework was pure torture for him, my husband and me. It would take hours, even simple assignments. He couldn't organize so many of his assignments were late or he just never bothered to turn them in. I couldn't take it another school year. We finally had him tested for ADD. He tested positive for the attention deficit but is not hyperactive. I think that is why it took so long for any of his teachers or us to even think that this could be the problem. They can have attention problems without bouncing off the walls. We are scheduled to work with the school on how best to help him in the classroom and with homework. He started him on medication which we said we would never do, I think in part to all the hype that these drugs have caused. After taking his medicine we had him retested to see if it would help. The tests results we greatly improved-yippeee. He said he feels no different except that he can think better. We are just beginning this process and learning lots. Try checking out some ADD sites and see if your son fits any of the profiles. Good luck!

Driven to Distraction

Homework is not always a nightmare in our household but I have become warn-down by repeated notes from teachers complaining about our 8 year old son not finishing classwork. There's no question he struggles with concentration but not all the time. It has been suggested that we have him tested for ADD but, as in your situation, our son is not bouncing off the walls and we could never imagine giving him drugs. I did check out some ADD sites a year ago but the profiles just didn't seem to fit him, other than that he struggles with staying focussed on school work. His usually excuse is that the other kids were distracting him. Some how though, the others manage to finish their work and the excuse doesn't fly when we've created total silence for doing homework and his mind (imagination) drifts into another world. There is also a strong possibility that he is gifted for which we will have him tested later this year. My question is this... is there something other than drugs to get him to stay focussed? For 3 years running, teachers have been asking me how to keep him from getting distracted but short of continuing to praise him for the preferred behaviour (we know nagging and negative reinforcement doesn't work), I am plan out of ideas. I'm opened to suggestions!

This might sound simplistic, but have you tried Turbo Twist Spelling with Mind Station by Leap Frog? Amazon.com has many parental testimonies to this product turning around their children's attitudes about spelling. It is a fun, high-tech toy that educates. You can even download his spelling list from school into the toy. I'm not a salesperson or anything. I just happened to read all those comments at Amazon and thought it might be worth a try. It is expensive, but many say it works wonders.

I too am having a problem with my son not wanting to do his homework who is 10. We've tried the grounding to taking his worldly possessions away from him and his comment was it will just get worse. Well...I lost it at that point and grounded him for another two weeks and no worldly possessions. My wife and I do not know what to do. We've tried rewarding him at the end of each day to each week and after time, $10 a week was not enough. We have our son in a Resource Class (slower pace) for him to catch up with his reading and writing. I hope this will work?

I appreciate Dr. Phil reminding us, as parents, to stick up for our children, even when it gets ugly. We cannot let the bullies win. We need to stick up for our children & protect them.

BULLYING

ALTHOUGH I STRONGLY AGREE WITH DR PHILS SUGGESTIONS;UNFORTUNATELY,ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO NOT ALWAYS RESPOND TO BULLYING AND DEATH THREATS IN THE LOGICAL, RESPONSIBLE WAYS AS YOU DESCRIBE ON THE SHOW. FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW OF A CASE WHERE A STUDENT RECEIVED 20+ HATE & DEATH THREATS (IN WRITING)DURING SCHOOL; & THE INSTIGATOR EVEN ADMITTED TO THE SCHOOL THAT SHE HAD WRITTEN A SONG/POEM ABOUT KILLING THE STUDENT. THE SCHOOL, ADVOCATES THEY HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR VIOLENCE. HOWEVER, THE STUDENT THAT INITIATED THE DEATH/HATE SONG/POEM,& CONVINCED 20+ OTHER STUDENTS TO WRITE HATE MAIL TO THE OTHER STUDENT, WAS THE DAUGHTER OF A TEACHER IN THE DISTRICT AND HER FATHER IS AN ADMINISTRATOR AT THE LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH MENTAL RETARDATION CLINIC IN THE AREA. NO DISCIPLINE WAS TAKEN AGAINST THE GIRL OR THE OTHER 20+ STUDENTS. THEIR PARENTS WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THEIR CHILDREN HAD PARTICIPATED IN THIS BULLYING/THREATENING. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE THREATENED STUDENT NOW IS EXPECTED TO TAKE CLASSES UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE STUDENT'S MOTHER THAT THREATENED HER. SHE TOOK SUMMER SCHOOL LAST YEAR TO AVOID THE SITUATION. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPONDED TO THE PARENTS THAT THE STUDENT THAT WAS BULLYED SHOULD SEEK COUNSELING AT MHMR, WHERE THE OTHER PARENT OF THE STUDENT THAT BULLYED HER IS THE DIRECTOR. THE PARENTS WENT TO THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ASSURING THEIR DAUGHTER THERE WAS A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR VIOLENCE & THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED. THEY ALL PUT THEIR FAITH AND TRUST IN THE SC

Bullying

This is in response to the person talking about the student who was bullied by the student who's parents work for the school and counseling center. It sounds to me like some parents from that school need to get involved. Take the information to PTA meetings, town meetings etc, until someone listens. Just because the parents work for the school and/or counseling center doesn't mean that that student has to suffer. Go to your police station and see what they do, go to the superindendent's office and talk there. Anything to get there attention within reason. That student has the right to feel safe and should not have to hide at all.

As a voter, taxpayer, parent or outraged party we all have a say in how our children are treated. You have a right to say "What you're doing isn't good enough". The problem is in most school systems is that our "leadership" is so biased and impotent that they will not act unless threatened with more action. If you threaten to take legal action, make this public, or take it up with a superior is when you see results. You can always call on your state representatives to help you out or call legal aid to file a legal complaint. Your child has the right to feel safe at school, if that school cannot provide that then they should have to provide an alternative means of education like a tutor. But honestly, when faced with legal action or someone shining a light on their incompetence most school officials are MORE than willing to take action. Don't stop with just one person. The old saying, "The squeeky wheel gets the grease," is perfectly correct. I say, "Gripe until somebody listens!"

does anybody remember the name of the detective or investigator who was on the show, about helping that young girl who was being bullied online?
i think there was the school principal and the school counselor there as well, but there was a third person, some guy who was telling people what they could do if they were being harassed or bullied online?
thank you

I watched the show on the homework segment and had a hard time understanding what to do and how to do it. My son is 13 and we have the same problem with the homework issue. If someone can re-explain or give me advise as to what to do to get my son to realize that homework needs to be done and it's important, I would appreciate it. I feel like I've tried it all

Homework Techniques

Posted on: 2003-09-02 11:09:36
I used to spend hours with my second grader on homework, she would do everything to get out of doing it or just wait me out until I told her the answers. It was "hinted" to me by her teacher that "some children need medication for school." I was actually concidering it, until I did the research on these meds. NOT GOOD!!!! I found a great web site that helped us both. Please check out www.resultsproject.net and then chick on #3 Quick Smart Kids. There are some GREAT techniques to try, especially Carolyn's story. My daughter is now in fourth grade and doing great.

I Found The Lever
Posted by: emtnester
Posted on: 2003-09-01 10:04:19
Dr. Phil told the parent her job was to find the lever to get the son to change his behavior. I found it 13 years ago when my then middle-school-aged son had the same problem. I was introduced to the book, "Ending the Homework Hassle" by Dr. John Rosemond. His theory -- and it worked for us -- is that our son's privileges were his "standard of living." His bedtime, his use of the phone, his video games, his ability to leave the house to play outside or attend after-school activities, use of the car (for an older child), his TV privileges, (no internet at the time but it should be included today) etc., represented his standard of living, and he was motivated to maintain them. Rosemond relates it to a parent's working life. If you are threatened with termination and loss of your standard of living, you will change your behavior to meet expectations. And instead of picking one thing to hold over the child, you must lower the complete hammer -- as the consequences are for an adult if they lose their job. The child loses ALL privileges for the week their performance is sub-standard. The school needs to be involved because they -- not you -- determine if your child is 1) doing assigned work and 2) maintaining at least a C average in the class. Long story short: we stopped helping with homework and only meted out the consequences. It was hell but it worked! Our son learned personal responsibility, became an honor student and graduated from college. Get the book!

Bedwetting
Posted by: sublux
Posted on: 2003-09-01 10:20:46
When bedwetting is a physical condition rather than a psychological one, chiropractic care (from a doctor specializing in corrective, subluxation-based care) has proven to be extremely helpful. Often there is nerve interference to the bladder that causes the bladder to malfunction to different degrees. Adjustments look to remove the interference to allow the bladder (or any organ for that matter) to work at 100%. There are several testimonials from families that have had their children's bedwetting problems resolved through chiropractic. To find a great chiropractor in your area, try the website www.fivepointschiropractic.com -Hope this helps! LH -Georgia

Great comment sublux! My son was a bed-wetter until the age of 5 1/2. I took him to my chiropractor and after just one adjustment - he never wet the bed again. I was amazed - and when I saw the show I had to share my experience on this subject.
