"If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
Michael Jordan
Throwing out some ideas to help you find a way over, through or around this wall.
Outside of school, he also has little to no interest in any activities that take attention to detail or effort.. He won�t do pleasure reading, fun math or any kind of writing.
What kind of things do interest him?
I have to make him do his homework, but I�m to the point of dreading to see him get off the bus in the afternoons.
I'd focus my efforts on changing this. There's a quote I've been trying to put into practice since reading Gordon Nuefeld's
Hold Onto Your Kids. He talks about "connection before direction."
Can you focus on making a strong connection with your son when he gets off the bus? I'd put aside the homework issue until after this has been accomplished.
Glad you're not giving up!
