Homework.

I need help/tips for homework.We have a 6yo little one, a foster child. Backstory: We got her a at the end of May when school was almost over and with the house change and everything that was going on she missed the last days, social worker said she had completed kinder and that she was going to first grade. When we enrolled her and the social worker gave us more info about her turned out that she had NOT gone to kinder AT ALL. The parents never put her in school.Fast forward to this past Monday: she started first grade last week and this past Monday was the first day with homework. The afternoon was a nightmare with her doing homework: crying, yelling, fake tears, saying and saying that she was done when she had done nothing. On Tuesday was pretty much the same and we decided to call the parents so they see what's going on with her (which we had mentioned already on Monday but they didn't believe it, I guess), we put them on speaker so they can talk to her and this is how the conversation went:Parents- "hi baby! Hi, name of child, we love you! We love you, name of child! Love you!"We hat to reminded them of why we were callingParents: "oh! Yeah... umm... babe, you have to do your homework, ok? You have to... but if you can't just do what you can, it's ok if you don't complete it. It's ok, ok? Just do what you can, ok?"Us: "no, that's not how it goes, she needs to complete all her homework, you need to tell her that she need to do her homework"Parents: "yeah, but that's the way she's aaaalways been. That's the way she's been since she was born...! You just have to have patience with her, you know? Just remember that, parenting is all about patience. She'll get there." (Thing that makes NO sense because, I mean, they have a case)Us: "you need to tell her that she needs to do it. I'm not calling you for help, this is not my first child. This is gonna go in the report. We're trying to help her and she doesn't want help and you're telling her that it's ok. This is going on the report."Parents: "oh! Oh...! Umm... child's name, you have to do your homework ok? You need to learn all this, just do your homework ok, babe?"*The way they were talking changed as soon as we told them that it's gonna go on the report, which has to go on it, it's not just because I want to be a B.Today I am making the letters on paper so she can trace them, the alphabet and her name, she barely knows how to do her name, and I'll probably do the numbers too...Any tips on what else to do? Or how to handle this? For next visit with parents we're gonna send her with the paper I'm making for her so they can see and whatever homework she has.Also, if this is not the right sub for this, please let me know where to put it, thank you. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2wUc3b6
