[quote=Anonymous]OP - here's what I do. No pressure on the grades, but tons of work (even yelling) insuring that he is organized, takes the time to do his assignments, studies, and fesses up to me without defensiveness when i ask. Math tests are always gone over after they come back to make sure the missed material is learned. Again, without defensive behavior. I yell, ground, whatever on these things. Then I let the grades fall where they fall. Stop talking about outcomes. I also hired a tutor to work with him on these things (10 may be too young) and so that there would be less yelling at home. Tutor told my son that it was clear I didn't trust him (he'd been lying), and focused on "what can you do so that she trusts you about your school work?" Its working.[/quote]
