Someone please help.
I can't seem to get out of this horribly negative cycle with DS's homework.
He has to do one task a week but it's always a battle. It's not that he can't do it - but he knows that I want him to so digs his heels in. I then get frustrated and rise to it because I KNOW he's just doing it on purpose.
It ends up hanging over us all week. I try to get him to do it during the week but he keeps putting it off (knowing it doesn't have to be handed in until Monday). Then Sunday is ruined trying to persuade him to do it. Some of the tasks are quite involved - making things etc.
It's entirely my attitude that is making it worse but I don't know how to stop it . I know it's not a big deal at this age but it drives me insane. All of my other friends have children who are really enthusiastic.
I'm sure at the back of my mind I'm convinced he'll fail his A levels
