My son is 5 and in Kindergarten. He has always hated his homework, which all he has to do is write the letter of the week and draw 3 pictures that start with that letter. I always get very involved & help him, letting him trace my finger to see how to write the letter, and even getting my own peice of paper & showing him exactly how to draw certain pictures. Well, here lately, He's been horrible at trying to get him to do his homework. He gets overly dramatic when he's upset or frustrated. When he does his homework, he sits there for 30 minutes, or longer, and does nothing. Then he complains"I hate homework. ""Homework is stupid"" I want to get a bad grade, I don't care." He messes up on purpose, then erases, again & again, sometimes ripping the paper. The last time he pulled this, today, I simply picked up his paper, ripped it in half, and said "Fine, if you want a bad grade, you'll get one." and threw it away. He bust into tears. Was this too harsh? Should I give him another chance?
