This exercise is designed for adolescent clients who have frequent arguments with their parents and/or have difficulty completing their homework. The purpose of the exercise is to assess family dynamics surrounding the issue of homework. The parents and client are both required to read three vignettes and respond to their respective questionnaires. The therapist reviews their responses in the follow-up therapy sessions to formulate a plan that will help the client to complete their homework more often, as well as reduce the degree of emotional intensity surrounding this issue. Beware: The client who has difficulty completing their school homework may very well have difficulty completing this therapy homework assignment. The client's resistance to completing the homework assignment may be processed either before or after the homework assignment is given.
Families differ widely over how they deal with the issue of homework. In some homes, homework is an issue that precipitates heated arguments between parents and teenagers. In other homes, teenagers experience very few problems with their parents about homework. The following three case studies describe different family scenes focusing on the issue of homework. As you read the case studies, consider how your family may be similar to or different from the families described in dealing with homework issues. After you finish reading the three case studies, please complete the appropriate questionnaire.
"I don't have any homework," Jimmy Keller angrily told his father, "and I'm tired of you always nagging me about it!"
Irritated, Mr. Keller replied, "Well, I wouldn't always have to check up on your schoolwork if you would just be responsible and do it. I got a call from Mr. Smith, your math teacher, and he says you have four incomplete assignments. What's up with that?"
"Nothing's up with that," Jimmy responded in exasperation. "I've already turned them in. I did them in-"
Mr. Keller cut his son off, "You told me that when I got a call from your science teacher. Then I went to conferences and found out that you hadn't turned several assignments in. How can I trust you?" The argument continued for a few more minutes before Mr. Keller threw up his arms in frustration and said, "I give up!"
Jimmy stormed to his room, too angry to even try to do his homework. He called a friend instead.
"Mom, it's just a rough draft. It's not the final copy. I just wanted to know whether you thought my ideas sounded good," Kimberly expressed in frustration. "You don't have to be so critical about the spelling and punctuation errors. I'll correct those later on the computer."
Pat, Kimberly's mother, said, "You don't have to be so defensive. I'm just trying to help save you time by pointing out the mistakes now. Besides, you don't always recheck your essays for spelling errors."
Kimberly rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Why did I even bring the essay to her? She's always so picky about the smallest mistakes."
Sensing her daughter's irritation, Pat told her, "Don't roll your eyes at me. I wouldn't have to be so picky if you would just learn to recheck your work."
"Fine," Kimberly said, gritting her teeth. "Just give me the paper and I'll make the corrections." Kimberly snatched the paper from her mother's hand and walked out of the room.
Eric's mother came into the kitchen carrying two bags of groceries. She said, "Oh, hi, Eric. I see you've already gotten a jump on your homework. Good for you."
Eric smiled and said, "Yeah, I wanted to get it done before the basketball game tonight. Michael called and asked if I wanted to go to the game with him. Is that okay?"
Eric's mother said, "Sure, if you get your homework done, you can go. And I want you to know that I appreciate it so much that you are taking responsibility for getting your homework done without me having to hassle you constantly. You're a neat kid." Eric completed his homework and called his friend Michael to get a ride to the game.
