[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not meaning to derail thread - but any suggestions for HS?  I’m currently making my way through Seth Perler from pp.  thank you!     definitely have resistant HS who got by on smarts before.  Wish we had addressed this earlier.  [/quote]  We stated with Seth Perler in 8th grade.  We are now entering 11th and 3 years ago could not have imagined this is where we would be.  It has not been an easy path - but it is the path we are on.

A few things we decided to do - 
not make our entire relationship with our teen nagging about assignments that were not handed in or other school stuff.
once we took some of the anxiety off the table (that we were creating) we were able to have more meaningful conversations.
I have watched a lot of shows that I would have preferred not to - but investing in the relationship has paid dividends.

But we do use the phrase "I love you too much to let you fail" when we see where things are going and need to step in (I can not remember which parenting author said it)

Things that have the most power - peer relationships.  Encourage your child to find their group.  Debate, ultimate, the recycling club.  This connection was what pulled him along to make choices for himself.  [/quote]
