Dyan,

It's much more labor intensive for us to use our affected side. As adults we know we must get things done and tend to push through despite that it is not easy. Children, being children, take the path of least resistance. Given the option to do homework without some consequence or reinforcement, kids will likely do nothing.

When he's Cayden is rested and it is easy, he may be more willing to use it. When he is tired anf it becomes a chore it is easier to just let it go. As he gets older and more determined to remain actively involved, the more he'll likely fight through to use it.

Thank you so much for the info. Maria. That will help me see him as that than him having his second stroke. I knew when he got tired his right foot dragged and he had trouble climbing but the other day he just left that right hand hanging down and wouldnt even pick it up. That is what scared me the most so at least with this info I know that it is probably him not wanting to take the energy to use it......being his normal stubborn self........lol
