Q: 8 yr old w/adhd and homework

Is there anything I can do about too much homework? My 8 yr old/w adhd works on homework for at least 3 hours a night..I believe that's just too much for her.

If you think that is too much for him then it is; you don't want to push him to much, because then he will get upset and angery.  You should talk with his teachers to see if he can get a lighter load of homework for him, they should be understanding.  All schools have an special ed system of some kind.  I went through one myself and well as after school progams.
