[quote=Anonymous]I would expect my child to be able to articulate what happened and why, and what the plan is for getting caught up and helping to prevent it from happening again. I don't think there's any need for a penalty in this case - you said your child's already disappointed in her performance and is typically a good student. She understands it was a temporary blip, she knows why it happened. The important lesson to my mind is how she can identify her grades slipping next time. She will have other periods of intense activity, and she may have just discovered she has trouble juggling multiple balls. That's excellent information! I'd have her brainstorm with your help ways of identifying she's entering a difficult spot, and ways to help make sure she doesn't crash and burn. Sounds like you have a great kid![/quote]
