[quote=Anonymous]Last year was DD13 first year of middle school and it was a disaster. Lots of lying about homework and then not turning it in, and trouble with “talking in class/not completing assignments” because she we prioritizing socializing over academics. In two classes in particular she only passed by the skin of her teeth after we put the fear of god into her, but no actual routines or solid changes were implemented. Something has to change this year. She has to prioritize her schoolwork over her social interactions, and she has to be self motivated to do it. Also, how do we handle homework when all she wants to do is get on the phone with or head over to friends’ houses? Is it just homework as soon as she steps foot in the door? No arguments, and remind her of last year? (I’m sure there will be arguments initially lol) I’d love any advice. [/quote]
