VerifiedHello and thank you for consulting Just Answer. I am sorry to hear about the mathematical and behavioral difficulties that your son is experiencing. Could you be so kind as to provide a little more background information so that I can understand the situation better. Does your son have the same teacher for math and reading? Have you discussed the issue with his teacher? Have you observed your son during class time? Does he know his basic facts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division well? Has a close friend recently moved away? Thank you!
He does need to be put on a behavior contract at school with regards XXXXX XXXXX He seems to know how to manipulate this situation. He needs to be rewarded when he does complete assignments and put forth the effort. Try not to focus so much on the negative because that route does not seem to be beneficial.
