[quote=Anonymous]As a Tiger Parent, let me tell you there is an art to it. You can't force multiple major things on one kid at the same time. You can enforce then one after the other, with a decent interval in between, or push several kids to each do one major thing at the same time. But if you push too hard, especially when they're teens, you'd better watch out because they will either rebel right there and then, or hate you for the next several decades. So what's more important to you? Staying in that school and no soccer? Or going to his old school (with an ADHD diagnosis and meds to help with his executive functioning, if that's the cause of his disorganization) and winning a coveted spot on a team? Or... if there's something he badly wants, can you bribe him to do both school and soccer? His dream car? :-) I don't advise bribing, but sometimes it works. Use in moderation. [/quote]
