[quote=Anonymous]With each kid you have to figure out what makes them tick and motivates them. And then provide them with the tools to reach their goals. If your child can get an A with your yelling alone, it means that she is capable of reaching an A. That is the good news. She needs help with time management and planning though - which means that for a few years you will need to spend time with her daily, and help her plan - her short, medium and long term goals. Figure out when her playdates are and ask her to work them into her schedule. I have been doing this with my kids and I will ask them each day "What do you need to do today?" As soon as an invitation comes, I ask them to incorporate it and show me the new schedule. [/quote]
