A reward system perhaps? If she does homework she gets "X" (something she really likes). Don't make her do it for hours, but complete one assignment or task and get a reward...then another, and so on...
Give her a better reason to do it than "because you are supposed to"...at this point, that won't mean anything to her...
Conversely, let her know if she doesn't do it as she should, then other priviledges will get taken away...restriction may occur, etc...there's got to be consequences for not doing it, as well as rewards for completing it...

Sorry! I feel for you. I would have suggested removing all distractions and making sure the homework is done or she can't play or watch tv. But it sounds like she doesn't care about the punishments. Is the homework at too high of a level for her so she is constantly frustrated? If so you might talk with the teacher about getting her extra help. If it is just she doesn't want to do it because she would rather do other things. The only thing I can think of is making her sit at the table until it is done. This is no fun for her or for you.

attempt to make it relaxing - get books approximately issues he's attracted to or that are interactive. examine him memories greater so he pals it with reliable circumstances extremely of boring homework. Take turns analyzing a e book. Have him examine to the completed kin, then he will sense like a famous individual appearing in front of anybody. you need to even have him act it out! Rewards are continually constructive too, no longer basically for analyzing yet all homework. Like if he gets his homework performed for the week you will lease a action picture he needs to work out or get him a small toy.

have her do her homework by a certain time and if you know that a certain TV show that she loves comes on tell her that she can watch it only after she is done with homework. ever since i was 5 or 6 i was also easily distracted but i do not have ADD or ADHD or anything. what my parents told me is that i cannot get up from the table and go to bed unless my homework was done, same applied with playing outside as well as watching TV. do not give her rewards since she becomes accustomed to that as she grows older and thinks that it is okay or that she has earned it. be realistic: do not give into what your kid wants! tell her that if she wants to watch the movie she begged you to see you will take her on Friday night but the condition is for her to complete her homework as well as to get rally good grades on it too! best of luck!
