My daughter has a learning disability. Soemtimes it can take up to 3 hours to do her homework.?
Answer:
well you're a good mum and with you in her life, she will get better with learning. Yeah put her in a special education so she won't be destracted and will concentrate more. Just make her feel comfortable and have fun when learning. It doesn't really matter how long it takes your daughter to understand her work, and gets the meaning. Just continue to give her the love, support and pray for her.. We all have different ways of learning. And she has her way of learning too. ANd that's beautiful
put her in special ed.
Special Ed.
Pray that she grows up to be like Paris Hilton. That girl is dumb as a box of rocks but will always do well in life.

most schools have after-hours tutoring at no cost. call the school and ask them about after-school study programs or private tutors. i'm sure if you explain the situation to them they will help you (and your daughter)
I am teaching this woman to use the computer. She teaches kindergarten. Your daughter sounds exactly like her.
Having a learning disability myself, I can say that it will work wonders to go to a tutoring place like Sylvan or something, they have specialists who could help her find ways to get it done faster. Also you should talk to her teacher.
I know the feeling, I do the same thing. Does she have an IEP? If you can afford it higher a tutor. The state I live in charges you for after school tutor help here in CO. Every school tutor program should be free
Your daughter should not have any homework that requires her to spend 3 hours on it; not just YOU, but SHE must be frustrated and burnt out too. Talk to the school/her teacher; something's not right here. Good luck.
Does your daughter have an I.E.P.? Is she in special education? Talk to the school about having your daughters homework modified. Make sure you go in as a strong advocate. You would be surprised at the help you will get once you speak up. The school has tons of resources. In certain cases you can even have your daughter sent to a private school. Good Luck!
Get her a tutor
get her a tutor or have your go to a special school after her regular school to help her with the homework.
I would try Sylvan or something comparable. I think they have special programs if you are unable to afford it. Give them a call- it should make everyone's life a little easier. If that is not an option, talk to your child's teacher and see what she suggests.
You are doing something wrong..You don't mention what her disability is? That has a lot to do with your situation. No one can give you an answer without knowing that.
If I read in "between the lines" you have more problems than your daughter.
Have patience! I know this has to be hard...Sometimes i wonder about my son...Keep Praying she gets better!
If she has a diagnosed learning disability then her school will most likely offer free tutoring (it'll be beneficial for her to get homework help from someone who is trained in teaching children with learning disabilites). They might also have special lesson plans for children with learning disabilities (special education classes).
First of all, a rough guide of homework is that it should take about ten minutes per grade level. A third grader, then, should not be working more than 30 minutes a night. Most teachers will be reasonable about this. Make notes showing what you were able to accomplish so that the teacher knows what you could do. If your daughter receives consequences for this, ask to speak to her special education teacher or the principal of the school and get alternate or reduced assignments.
But even this might not solve the problem. There are times when kids start to enjoy the attention that homework trouble gets them, and seem to not understand concepts that they were able to grasp in class just a few short hours before. Homework shoud not be reteaching time, but a reinforcement of skills that kids can do independently. If you think that your daughter can do the assignment, lingering over it and helping her every step might be enabling her to get your help instead of problem solve on her own. Here's what you do to build up her confidence and get her working on her own. Make sure that the assignment is structured in a way that she understands. Break it down to a series of two or three simple, concrete steps. You might even add a visual at the top of the paper so that she sees the steps clearly. Have her put the directions in her own words, and then give her a word of encouragement. "I know that you can do this. When I come back in five minutes, I can't wait to see what you have accomplished." Then LEAVE. If you come back and she hasn't done the task, have her restate the directions again. Emphasize that you have confidence that she can do this, and see if you can get her to verbalize where she got stuck. Clarify or explain, but don't do it for her. Be encouraging again, and LEAVE again. Here's the thing: You have to wean her from your constant presence. It's not sustainable, for you or your other daughter. Being able to accomplish things on her own will make her feel confident.
To summarize, then. Get the homework amount down to what she can handle. Break tasks down into simple, complex steps, and tell her that you know she can do them. Be encouraging, but make it clear that you expect her to accomplish the homework on her own.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
