[quote=Anonymous]13 was the low point for both of our boys when it came to school work. Our oldest DS is only turning it around now, at age 16. For him the thing that probably helped the most was being in a great school with a group of high performing students. Nothing that we said seemed to make a difference but he did not want to leave his peers so he pulled it together to be able to stay in school. (Also, he is a very bright kid, so we focused on skills rather than grades, knowing that he understands almost everything. His school placed into a track that will take him through multivariate calculus in high school and we encouraged him stay on that track even though he had less than a 3.0 as a freshman). Our other DS also has learning issues. For him, we hired an organizational tutor and backed off. The PP explained it well. Hang in there, age 13 for boys is tough![/quote]
