Hi! I do not know what to do. My son is 11 and he takes a very long time doing things (chores, school, etc.). I have posted about this before, but he has been doing his schoolwork for a couple of weeks now. I am trying to let him have the consequences of not getting it done (no T.V., no going out to play until his work is done). The problem is that his work is never done!!!! Ever!!!!! Every day he has leftover assignments. He does not seem to care if he sits at his desk forever. I would be fine with it, but it is interfering with the rest of us. I feel like I am grounded. We can't take the family out to do anything with out him bringing his work (which he does'nt do while we are out anyway). Then he sulks the whole time and I have to sit there and make sure he is'nt just goofing instead of doing work.
The work is not too hard for him. He does this with everything that he "has" to do. If it's something he wants to do, it's done fast. He can read a book that is hundreds of pages long in a few hours! He is so smart and good at things I just don't know what to do here. It is really limiting what we can do with our daughter who is five. I have'nt hardly got out of the house and I am going crazy and it's only September! He just sits there and does nothing for hours! He's had no free time at all for almost two weeks! And his assignments are not long either. He could easily get most of them done in 15 or 20 minutes, but he takes hours.

Going crazy and awfully sorry for the run-on sentences.
