[quote=Anonymous]I’d try to find some non academic ways to engage with him. At that age school can be boring, esp for smart kids. Lean into the Arts. Go on day trips, see things, mix it up. Plan stuff that’s cool, weird. Things that are hands on or things that are experiential or anything just different from his day to day experience. Different foods, different cultures, hiking, there’s so much. Perhaps an away week or two camp in the summer, that can really be good for them. It just might feed him on a different level. I would try to inspire him rather than beat a drum about getting it together. Before high school, but not now, remind him that he’s building his own transcript, not you, and that he’ll want to keep that in mind as it’s a road to college. [/quote]
