[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The consequence should match the "Crime". For a first C, you should sit with him and ask what's going on. Then discuss what the teacher is noticing. Then come up with a plan to raise the grade. If he does not follow through with those actions, then you can start talking about consequences. Please do not be punitive at this point. He is probably already feeling bad about himself. [/quote] Yes, this. Sounds like plain old immaturity rather than aptitude. My DS was similar at the age but matured beautifully, got straight As in a HS magnet and now attends an elite college. Focus on praising his best efforts not punishing him.[/quote]
