[quote=Anonymous]My daughter did this as she moved from an easy public elementary school to a hard private middle school. The school should have a counselor or a study skills teacher that should be able to help him. Instead of you nagging them, they make 1-2 meetings a week with this person and go over their organization and time management skills. Her school emphasized over and over again that there will be a hard transition for all the kids (not just transfers) but the kids need to learn more self directing. So I usually spend about 30min on Sunday evening going over the week, her planner, upcoming tests, how is she going to manage her time this week with x an y activities. But during the week, she is on her own to listen to my Sunday suggestions or try to do something else. Our only rule is no electronics in the bedroom except her iPad for homework. No tv's, iPhone, computer, etc... [/quote]
