Question
I home school our 11 year old daughter. She refuses to do any work if she does not feel like it. I will send her to her room and she will not go. I inform her that there will be a consequence if she does not, but it does not matter. Yesterday, she started throwing temper tantrums to get out of work. I told her she had a certain amount of time for me to help her and then I had to attend to other matters. She refused, so I went on with business. As the time approached for her dad to return home, she demanded that I help her with her work. I told her I could not. she got on her bicycle in a downpour and rode it to the park. She is not allowed to even go up and down our street as there are no sidewalks. She uses her bike with supervision on trails. Any suggestions?
