Will try explain as much, but please excuse my English. DD is 9 and has been very difficult for couple years, she has been assessed and ruled out any SEN, but I am looking to assessing her privately for dyslexia/dyspraxia/dyscalculia ( school also ruled that out) She is sassy and smart mouth, she can’t concentrate or focus on homework/homeschooling ( tutors told me that she has poor concentration, but is progressing) I have to tell her off or explaining how important is for her to study to see her apply to anything . She rushes her homework if done alone and spends a hour trying get away from doing any relate homeschooling/homework. I tried to explained to her that we can be done quick if she gets on with ( 10 minutes of homework became 1 hour with the outbursts). Couple days ago she started shouting that she wants to die and kill herself! I got very much upset with her and had a awful day as I had to ignore her at same time make sure she was safe. All that because she didn’t spend all day on iPad. She wakes up early (6:30, no matter what time she goes to bed) and rushes to her IPad she stays until the battery dies. If I call for anything study relate she will kick off , after 2 hours on ipad her brain doesn’t work and she can’t process anything , she forgets what she learned the week before or doesn’t read the question properly and gets all answers wrong( she is going to year 5) , if I cut the iPad out and give a time like late afternoon, she spends all day making my life hell until I give in. The best time for us to get homework out of the way is in the morning, but she sees to not understand that she can have the rest of the day free. Does anyone with a 8/9 years old child without SEN related, has problems with they concentration and focus ? How did you deal with this? I know if I give up on her she will fail miserable, as the same teachers that says she doesn’t have a special need also says she needs to focus and progressing.
