Ervin Overbee: Wow. Okay. Your doing good about giving her rewards and stuff for doing her homework. What time do you "tutor" or "study buddy" with her? Let's say 3:00. When she gets home, after school give her a healthy after school snack. In that way she'll be able to concentrate on her homework and her studying. Examples: apples w/ carmel or peanut butter, popcorn, banana, milk, a gronala bar etc.After she has eaten her snack, remind her about her homework. if she starts throwing a fit, say this is in a firm voice "Sally, (pretend) I am here to help you with your grades, your homework, and to babysit you you need to follow my directions, and do what I say to do please." if she doesn't throw a fit, help with her homework. To help her study, make flash cards, for mutilpacation facts, vocabulary words, ANYTHING. Make homework, fun and not boring. Create a homework area and decorate it with posters, and other tings to make it fun. For some color, have colored pencils, coo! l pencils and pens. Check with the parents, before adding posters to the walls. For ideas, on how handle her. Give her ONE firm warning, send her to her room with no (ipod,cell phone etc.) if she stills acts up make her write a letter to her parents, about her behavoir and why she acts that way. Tell her your not going to deal with her nasty attuide and remind her that your here TO HELP HER! If all of her behavoir continues and you can't handle it, i would quit the job and go to some one else for money....Show more
Clifford Gombos: I would talk to her parents. Simply tell them that she refuses to do her work so you can't help her. You've tried everything you can think of but when you urge her to do it, she becomes abusive and aggressive, and that is simply unacceptable. She's a very smart little girl. She can do the work on her own, or they can help her, but she won't cooperate with you.If they pressure you to continue, just repeat that the child won't cooperate ! with you so it is a waste of time and you don't want to be str! uck or insulted. You will care for her, entertain her, see that she gets exercise and a nutritious snack, so they come home to a healthy and happy daughter.If they insist you help with her homework, do -- until she refuses, and then stop. (That will be after about 10 minutes.) If her grades worsen and her parents ask you about it, say you do what you can but, as you told them, she refuses to do the work. It's been my experience that people like to put the responsibility on others and refuse to assume their own share of the responsibility. That way, they don't have to do anything about it. It's clear that that is what these parents are already doing: they don't discipline her because it requires effort, and they just leave it to others to deal with the consequences (their spoiled child). Don't assume the responsibility. They may try to shame you by repeating, "You can't get her to do it? She's only 7. You can't do it? How hard can it be? You can't make it enjoya! ble so she'll do it? Just tell her to do it. Can't you handle a 7 year old? We're paying you to help her with her homework." Just keep saying, no, I can't. I try but she won't work with me. Well, how can a 7 year old dictate to an adult? Why can't you do it? I've tried but she refuses. See? They'll keep trying to put the responsibility on you, even try to shame you into it. You don't let them get away with that. You just keep saying you can't. If they say they'll talk to her, you can say that will be great. Then, when the child acts the same way, you simply stop doing homework again. You do that every day. When they ask, tell them you try every day but she still refuses....Show more
Emery Blando: I agree with that person ^^ up there. But I come from a STRICT Irish family. My family never took any nonsense with children. They stepped even slightly out of line, it was a backhander, or a wooden spoon, or a shouting in the face so bad you almost soiled you! rself. All of the people in my family are now employed, quite high up i! n what they do, earn good money and are lovely people. Enough said. Discipline Good day xxx...Show more
Loriann Carrigan: Okay, you're using positive reinforcement on a kid that doesn't want it. Meaning, the stickers aren't good enough for her anymore. Instead, let's do negative reinforcement. It might sound like punishment, but don't worry, it's not. All you have to do is TAKE AWAY something that she finds ENJOYABLE. Does she have a favorite toy or animal to play with? If so, take it away before you start on the homework. Explain to her that she can have it back after all of her homework is done. And b/c little kids have short attention spans and 10 minutes on one subject feels like a lifetime to them, I suggest that after finishing a subject you let her take a 2-3 minute break so she can get up and walk around. Then come back to the homework with a fresh mind and you might find that she concentrates more. After all of her homework is done, then let her pla! y w/ her favorite toy. Hope this helps!...Show more
Jesse Japak: I might inform them tha I don't care if they do not like the academics, that they ARE going to college if I ought to give up my activity and take them to elegance myself. I might take the ones video video games and different luxuries away and cause them to do their paintings and truthfully area the youngster. This feels like a man or woman who's babied an excessive amount of and prefer they're by no means going to check out in view that the whole thing else has been given to them. You ought to be crude, imply, and stern. DO NOT quit. Good success! If this does not paintings then cause them to take the GED experiment. Although that would possibly not get them at any place in existence. It'll nonetheless be giving them what they desire....Show more
