2 Hours, 15 Minutes of Frustration

Any ideas on how to make writing and language arts fun for my son? I just spent over an hour getting him to put his 15 spelling words in alphabetical order and write them down. Don’t ask about the rest… I am very frustrated right now. It is homework. I start it on the weekend for this very purpose. I offered him good points for doing it without whining and then threatened to take away the wii and computer (that got some result but it didn’t last)… I just can’t figure it out. Once he gets started he gets done in 15 minutes… instead… 2 hours of this… having another kidney stone would be more enjoyable… at least I don’t have to face it again the next day… yep, we have 4 more pages of work to do tomorrow. Shoot me now.
