Instructions for parents

I have four children, but I have the most trouble with my oldest. Age 11. I am hoping to connect with other parents and get ideas on how to better deal with this child.
Issuse I have plenty. He is very intellgent, yet refuses to do his work in school. He tells me he knows it already. The teachers say he can explain the work veribably but will not write down his information. Maybe he is just haveing a hard time processing how to write. That is something I just learned about in a book called; "A Mind at a Time." writen by DR. Mel Levine. Very informative.
Anyway I just wanted to see if other parents are in this blog. And also to get started on doing bloging. I would like to get more information on how one get's paid for doing this work. I am also a fiction writer, with leaning toward romance, suspense, and sciece fiction. If you want to read something of mine just contact me at my e-mail.
