[quote=Anonymous]You have to follow your kid's lead. I have two and they are different. Kid #1 has never gotten anything less than an A, in HS or college. Very motivated. Don't have to do anything, this is how this kid is wired. I have stepped in to support this kid when needed, which was to support mental health at one point, and to get a tutor when the kid missed a lot of school for an illness. Kid #2 is also very bright but not as motivated as Kid #1. Kid#2 also has ADHD. We have done a lot to support Kid#2's disabilities, including close attention to the IEP, communication with school as needed, tutor. I offer to help study (usually declined), monitor missing work, and ask/remind about studying for tests. And then I stay out of it unless I see grades dipping to the C category. That tells me something is wrong. But if kid is getting Bs and above because kid isn't the type to want to study all the time, well, that's the kid's business. Kid is happy. [/quote]
