My son is in a "phase" at 7:30 we walked down stairs to the school room. I got out a workbook for my son to do a couple pages of review on long vowel sounds. He seemed excited and ready to work. It is now 11:30 and he has written nothing. literally not a single thing. These pages would take him about 3 minutes a pieces and there are 3 of them, I gave him his assignment cheerfully. I calmly reminded him to get back on task. Put him in time out and gave him opportunities to get his work done.
This most recent time I asked him if he would rather do his work or continue to sit in time out. He said he wanted to do his work. I warned him that if he lied to me about doing his work he would be grounded 2 days. I sent him to his desk with his work and gave him a few minutes. He did nothing.
He is now throwing a temper tantrum about being grounded.
At least I am not in a bad mood from all the troubles. He has made his bed now he is laying in it.
