whining n crying? My daughters behavior is rediculous! its the first week of school obviously, and she already is acting like a two year old. She is seven years old, oldest child in the home, has always had a whining problem etc. Last year we also encountered this problem with whining and not doing the homework and she kinda worked her way out of it, somewhat. it was still an issue depending on what day it was.

My daughter has a desk, away from tv, no interaction with siblings or parents generally. We are usually a room or two away, but there if she does actually need help. I dont know what else to do. I wouldnt be asking on yahoo answers for tips if i had the answers.

i am just at my end with her. she throws herself on the floor and literally whines and scoots herself around like a two year old. I dont get it. i put her in corner for that behaviour, i spank when needed fothat behaviour, i take toys away for that. What else can i do to make it work.

Right now its been a full hour and half and i would say she had less than 25-30 problems combined on her homework. I am in here asking you guys what to do with this CRAZINESS!!!!!

i cant put up with this much longer!


by the way she knows the material. without a doubt. my daughter always pulls straight a's. this is almost like refreshment stuff its so new in the school year.


(she just came in here at the hour and half mark exactly, shes wrote half a sentence in 28 minutes!!! literally "i want to go home"


WHAT THE HELL!!!!
 
Well, first off remember how homework was for you in school. You hated it didn't you? It was pain to do right? Keep that in mind.

When she comes home give her time to relax and have fun. Kids in school way too long these days, some schools have given up any fun like recess, PE & other things. So kids need time to be kids after school.

Make it a rule that homework starts after supper. Remind her of this and agree to it.

After this go over the home work with and look at it together. Talk about it, ask if she has questions and such. Then tell her is homework time.

It sounds like she is just sitting there and not working so you may need to sit with her for awhile. Remind her to do her work.

Let her know that if she works all the way through without whining for say 5 whole minuets (5mins is a LONG time for a child this age & set a clock like an egg timers or something) after 5mins she can get up and do something for 5mins or so. This just gives her freedom and control.

Just keep an eye on during this time and reward her for bits of work.
 
Wow, you might want to have a talk with her, just ask her what you need to do to help her, I used to be like her, my mom would do all that stuff to me, and I here I am, 5-6 years later, on the verge of a mental breakdown because I fell it is impossible to go to my mom for anything. -.- Sorry. Just have a nice heart-to-heart conversation with her. :D

I am going through the same thing rite this second. My 9 year old has been home since 300 and cried because he had to re write a pargraph. He just entered 4th grade and is ballin cuz he has to do multiplication. I feel like it just his grade so y should I care but I have to help him or I will look bad. I am learnin to deal woth this so I mite not have the best advice but, leave her in a room when she finishes correct the problems and then give it back to her to correct. Then if its after her bedtime then wake her up early and do that until she does her homework. If u go someone special then drop her off somewhere don't give in to her cryin. Hope this help!
 
Talk to her about her home work if she is supposed to be writing something ask her what she is going to write about. Maybe she is bothered by being alone and feels the other children are getting more attention.This is common with the oldest child. If you talk to her about why she has a problem with doing homework you may find a solution to your problem. I know it is hard last night when I got home from work at 9:30 my daughter had not done her homework because she did not tell her dad she had homework because she thinks it is more fun to do homework with me. So I told my husband he is going to have to start checking her backpack for homework on the days I work.
