How do I get my son to do his homework? He is a senior in high school and it is really stressful. He needs to get through a senior paper and project in order to graduate. However, he has a really hard time sitting down and doing his homework. His mind always seems to get off topic and he just decides to get up and leave frequently. Have other adults out there learned how to deal with a child that can't seem to sit still when he or she really needs to finish his or her homework? At this point in time, any advice would be awesome.
