[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's had a hard time the past few years with anxiety and depression. She has finally bounced back and is really on the road to recovery. As such, she has picked up a number of hobbies like crafting and painting. She also enjoys buying craft supplies on these apps.

I guess my feeling is that she got ONE bad grade, we don't need to set consequences just yet. And if we did, do we NEED to take away one of the things that she actually seems excited about?

The last 2 years were really dark for her. So, seeing her get excited about craft supplies is a total win. [/quote]
You needed to explain this in your OP.

I'm a PP who does limit phone if grades tank, but, I only do this if it's a consistent pattern.

DD had a lowish grade on her last math test. She knows that if she gets another one like this, we will start limiting her.  When she gets a bad grade, I ask her what happened; does she know what she did wrong; does she need more practice?

I would not curtail her purchases, but, you should keep an eye out on what happened, and set expectations with her.

I understand what your DH is saying, too. He doesn't want to reward her for getting bad grades, but as long as it's not consistent, and she knows where she went wrong, I would just provide her guidance on how to do better next time, but again, also set expectations.[/quote]
