  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My son has big problems with concetration.He has a real problem in Maths,his report had all D's(He is capable of doing the work).I had to sit in his class to see how he behaved(not well)He wouldn't do the work even with me there!

Have you tried a reward system for your son? :)
I.E a sticker chart , I do this wth my little girl as she has problems concentrating with homework, although she will read every book she can find.
If she gets so many stickers in a day then she gets a little reward, or she can save up her points until the end of the week and get a reward of her choice.

I hope you find a way and I wish you all the best for your son .

:)

His class Teacher does this but his Maths Teacher doesn't as He says that you don't always get rewarded in "real life". I do it at home for chores home work ect....

He's 9 he has said it's boring, but asking him to do count things ect when we are doing shopping he has no problem with.

That sorta leads me to wonder if'n he truely is jes bored, you figure the work he's been gettin is jes on th side of bein to easy? I've seen that one mysef before a kid starts screwin up an you know their smart as a whip an it comes down to they aren't bein challenged enough. Thought bout after school either expandin on the lesson he was given or introuduce some newer material?
