[quote=Anonymous]^ also, 12 is old enough to have frank conversations. Tell him you’ve been thinking about what he said, and think he’s right - you’ve let your focus on working to support the family distract you from what’s most important - spending time with your family and enjoying the awesome little person he is. You do have his back and want to make that clear to him, and so will be making some changes. Figure out what those can be (closing the computer between 5:30 and 9?) and be true to your word. Demonstrating that you heard him and are acting on what he said is the perfect way right now to show that you really do have his back - and helps model that we all make mistakes but can come back and recover from them (a good analogy for what you want him to do with his grades)[/quote]
