[quote=Anonymous]If he's going to school and doing enough to get C's, I have three thoughts. 1. Maybe that is the best he can do and you want to believe he can do better. His "it's good enough" attitude might be his way of deflecting and not having to come right out and saying that he can's do better. 2. He does not strike me as unmotivated if he's getting up and showing up for his classes each day. Kids who are really unmotivated don't get up. They don't show up for classes even if they do go. They don't do their homework. They don't do what it takes to get Cs. You are lucky that he doesn't do these things. 3. If you haven't treated the ADHD with medication, it might be time to try. Maybe it's time to show him his options with a C average. It might be fine with him. As a mom with a slightly above C level son who is doing his best, I can tell you that there are a lot of options and preparing starts in the early high school years. [/quote]
