Guest guest Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ugh. It seems like whenever we sit down to do a reasonable amount of homework (we have a 504) my son starts to have a meltdown. He starts to get intrusive thoughts about wanting to call me various curse words which then makes him feel guilty which then leads to him being distracted. I am so frustrated. I don't think the work he is being asked to do is unreasonable. I try to just remain neutral...thankfully we see the shrink this week and will increase his meds...but, man...I just want to scream and cry. My husband and I dread homework time with him and almost are to the point of picking straws to see which one of us will have to deal with him. We generally have to tag team out...one starts and when we reach our breaking point the other has to tag in. I feel so stuck. I wish the med issue had been easier for him but we have not been so lucky. He attends a competitive Magnet school where the academics are rigorous. I see what the 4th graders are doing and feel sick to my stomach about what awaits him next year. We are the first 504 plan the school has had to implement for anything like ocd or anxiety so I think they also want to help but it is a learning curve for them, too. I feel like I am often trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with him. His triplet brothers breeze through academics and activities and I know it makes him feel like he is somehow " less " than them. *sigh* Just having a rough time...if anyone can even relate I would love to at least not feel so isolated in our struggle. If you have suggestions, I am all for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
