Whenever my 12 year old sister has homework (which is almost daily) or has to do anything that requires effort she has a massive melt down, cries and throws a tantrum. She's in the same in her basketball matches, if she's someone tackles her or she does a bad throw she'll throw herself to the floor and roll around making our she's hurt. She loses her temper too and ends up throwing and slamming things.
I'm visiting home tonight and she's being so dramatic about her homework that shes bringing our mum to tears. We've had tears, shouting, sarcastically trying too hard to do her homework.
Is there any advice on how to handle this behaviour? She was like this in primary school too, we tried a lot then and her teacher ended up suggesting just not giving her homework anymore. In high school this isn't really an option!
She does eventually do it, in between stropping.
I know teens do throw strops but this is so extreme and nothing like how me or my other siblings have reacted!
