[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks so much for your advice. It's very helpful and has given me some ideas. For some background, DD was tested for adhd and doesn't have it. (But I heard there are multiple ways to evaluate, so maybe it's not completely ruled out. It is in our family.) She does have anxiety, and I think how she does in school reflects how well she's doing mentally. She did do very well working independently one quarter and turning in assignments.

I have been talking to her about school/assignments almost everyday, once I realized she was having trouble.

For this particular instance, she didn't turn in a few assignments (due 2 weeks ago)...for the last 2 weeks she had a lot of excuses why they weren't being done and said she would take care of it. Then, this weekend, she said it was too late to turn them in. She freaked out when I said I had to email her teacher. (I think she gets embarrassed/anxious about not doing well.)

Her hitting isn't great, but she's improved tremendously. It was a one off, and we're still working on it.

I guess where I get stuck is I know she's going to be upset when I bring up her not completing work and talking to her teacher, I can see her starting to get upset, but I also don't want to drop it. (And I try hard not to nag/repeat, I just want to say what i need to make a point.)  I also don't want her to explode either.
