I think that maybe some professional help in school would be helpful also.
She is perfectly capable of doing the work. Last week, she had an assignment to just read me simple sentences with the words they have been working on in class. She flat out refused to even try to do it. I made her sit in a chair. I told her when she was ready to at least try her homework, she could do it then go play. Every so often I would ask if she was ready to try her homework, and her answer was no. She sat there for three and a half hours. When she finally decided that she would try, she read them all without a problem. She read all her sentences in like three minutes without a hitch. She isn't stupid, she just refuses to do it, and I don't know what I can do to change that. Her teacher says she has no problems with her in class either. She said my daughter catches on to things very quickly, and is very well behaved and willing to do all her classwork.
