Re: Child who doesn't want to do any school... advice?
I would def not assign extra work and in fact would do the opposite and have a break this week and for a couple of days - just do more fun things. Play computer learning games, take a field trip , ask him what he would like to learn about. His age is often the age of complaining about school work.When you get back to regular routine have a pep talk - I know you dont always want to do school but you do have to do schoolwork and the faster you get it done the more time you will have for (xyz). Then daily when you set up math for him something like - it is time to do the math lesson for today and if you can not complain and get it done you will have time to play with legos for awhile before lunch (or go outside etc) Or if he likes fun math games online you could give him the incentive that if he can finish the L of F lesson without complaining, he can play a math game.
