I am at a complete loss at what to do to help my son be motivated to do work in school and at home.
This has been going on for as long as he has been in school (now yr5). We have tried everything! Positive reinforcement, no rewards till work done, removal of privileges, even sitting with him and working with him. The latter kind of works at home but it is still a struggle! He is a very bright child and he understands the consequences of not doing the work required but still can't do it. I have asked him "did you not understand the questions?", "did you need help?". He knows what he supposed to do but won't do it.
His new teacher kept him in a lunchtime today to complete the undone work and he still didn't finish it. She then shouted at him and put his name on the red spot. He was determined not to cry in school and has come home and let it all out, inconsolable crying for half an hour :(
We have been into the school on many occasions to try to find a solution but we are at a loss.
Has anyone got any advice or had a similar issue and resolved it?
Thanks in advance and for reading xx
