[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS (16) has 2 Fs and a D right now.  For not turning in work.  He does it, I've seen it, then forgets to turn it in.  It's driving me crazy!!  We've always told him it's about the effort, not the grades, when it comes to school... and he's putting in the effort... but somehow not turning in the work (which I know is part of the effort).  We've told him there won't be 'consequences' for bad grades (due to lack of effort) until the final quarter grades are out but how do I help him get his $hit together and get stuff turned in.  This was not a problem before high school, and was a little problem lalst year.  This year, though, it's pretty epic.  help?[/quote]

My ds had this and it was ADHD inattentive type.  Y

ou have to help him create checkpoints and habits for himself.  My ds used his planner to write assignments, and to write XYZ DUE in the box for the class/and date that it was due. At first he had the assignment written on the day it was assigned, and then at home that night, part of his work was to go and write TURN IN XYZ and highlight it on the square for that class on that due date.  He needed to look at the planner when he was in class each day - that was a habit that has to be made.  It is ALL about making habits. [/quote]
