[quote=Anonymous]I am really struggling with DD14. She is bright but doesn’t seem internally motivated. ES was easy for her, MS was a bit more challenging and now that she is starting HS she is frequently overwhelmed and falling behind in some classes. This causes stress which makes her fall further behind etc. I’m not sure I can survive 4 years of constantly being on her about grades, completing assignments, etc. But if I allow her to slack then she will regret it in the future when she can’t get into a decent college. I am struggling with this plus a full time job plus another child. How do you decide how much to push them vs. taking an “if you fail you’re mostly just hurting yourself” attitude?[/quote]
