Is there a class that I can go to, to help me to deal with my 11 yr, old son?

Question

My son is in the 5th grade, there was no section for school age questions, so I put in per-school. he is alreadly on medicine,for depression and adhd. my problem is tring to keep him on task with his homework. I've tried everything, taken all games away etc., it takes him 7 or 8 hrs to get 1/4 of his homework completed, he knows how to do his work, he wants to do everything else but homework. alreadly seeing a dr. has been for 3 yrs.

Answer 1

I confess to puzzling over why a question about an 11 year old child is in the pre-school section? Is he a very, very late starter?

Also, you neglect to explain the nature of your problem with him.

Is it discipline? Does he have flatulence? Is he a genius and you cannot understand his lofty conversational tones?

Is he violent and you are looking for the nearest taekwondo class?

Answers on a twenty pound note please.

Answer 2

Ask a social worker about Parenting Classes in your area.

How sad that you have let things go on for so long, until the child is 11.

From day one it has to be, no means no.

Good Luck

Answer 3

i'd suggest you both go to counseling.  he needs to learn how to deal with his issues and you need to learn how to deal with his issues and his lack of doing homework.  from what i suspect he's not been dealt with for years when it comes to homework.  i'm sure you've tried bribery, threatening, making deals.........and none worked.  get some trained help for both of you.  you might could try the learning centers also. like kumon, huntington and sylvan.

Answer 4

why don't you put him in therapy and yourself.if that's what you need.that is what i am doing to help me deal with my daughters issues.

Answer 5

Well, I know this may be way off what you are looking for but I am going to say it anyway.

I swear to god that from the ages of 11-14 I was the most difficult child in the world. There is something wrong in my mums side of the family that at that age we all go a little nuts, more so then the usual teen.

I had a kind of puberty inset schizophrenia, I heard voices, was paranoid and just went around the bend.

If that's kinda what's going on, then be patient it'll pass. BTW completely fine now.
