Joey is better on the whole but he still has his moments - particularly when we move away from schedules.  I picked up kids today and let them play outside as it was a lovely day, instead of Joey doing home work first, or before 1630 at least.  Result was that it took an hour of fighting to get him to do it, with tears and Anne losing it a bit as well.  We must do better but it is also v difficult to get balance between being positive and boosting Joey, avoiding continual nagging and discipline, and maintaing clear boundaries and discipline.  We are making progress but it is slow.
