Tearing hair out here... a simple homework assignment will drag on for hours and hours, when if he got down to it he could do it in 1/2 hour.
It's not ability that's the problem - it's all the other things: procrastination, lack of concentration, just a general reluctance to knuckle down, concentrate and get it done.
We have tried everything - chocolate bribery, encouragement, telling off, sitting with him, leaving him on his own, saying he can have a friend round when it's done...
I don't want to be pushy, but we're facing secondary school tests soon, and inability to work to the clock is going to be just a bit of a problem. PLus it's taking over the weekends !
Any advice please ?
