When a child refuses to do schoolwork, it can either test your mettle or cause you to lose a few handfuls of hair (or both!).
It’s not an easy situation.
But before you throw in the towel, you might be surprised to find out that there could be a good reason for the balking.
I have some posts by other homeschool moms who explain those valid reasons for refusal and offer solutions. AND, if there isn’t a good reason for refusing, they have suggestions for that too.
