[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as someone who was always above grade level but struggled with AP and college courses, instead of building academic skills, focus on building his study habits. I was allowed to skate by because I was bright, but I didn't know how to study for a test (because I hadn't had to before). Eventually I worked with a great HS teacher who helped me make a study plan and finally taught me how to study for things. I can only imagine how I would have performed if I had had someone help me that way earlier. I would make sure he does his homework and encourage reading. Play is important too, but good study habits will serve him the best in the long run. You are failing him if you let him grow up thinking it is totally fine to not try.[/quote]
