I am
so frustrated with Caroline's stubbornness today over schoolwork, particularly math. I am just venting but I am so tired of fighting with her over her assignments and how slowly she does them. She is the biggest procrastinator, completely self-distracting!! I wish she could take an ADHD med but since stimulants are out we will just have to deal with this in other ways, which I am not sure what they are right now! Arrgh!!! I can't wait for this school year to be over!!
Sorry for your frustration today - I so understand. My daughter is on an ADHD med that's not a stimulant, called Intuniv. Maybe worth a try?

My ADHD daughter was fighting tooth and nail over math homework all year long. We do a part-time private school. She goes to school 2 days/week and we do work at home the other days. Math was the bane of my existence. Suddenly she's doing it and doing it well. I hope it lasts a long time. Last night I was having to tell her to put her math away because she was tired. It was craziness!! Hopefully your daughter will make a similar shift!
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard when you are the parent and the teacher. I just started home schooling my son and sometimes I experience the same frustration. We are using treca digital academy. Hang in there.

hang in there! homeschooling can definitely be challenging. I have one who is hyperactive and presents a challenge every day. all my boys struggle with focusing and my oldest is the slowest worker when it comes to his schooling too. It really takes the practice of patience that's for sure. Homeschooling does seem to be helping him with speed and understanding of his work though.. atleast when the motivation is there.. hang in there!
