[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd try to address the underlying cause, like PPs have said. Tutoring may be necessary. But I'm a bigger fan of positive rewards. If it's homework, tie the reward to better homework performance rather than a specific grade. [/quote] +1 to all of this, but also with some sort of natural consequence involving the loss/reduction of a time-waster (say, screen or phone time) until her grades are back up. Kids need a little nudge sometimes. I did. I am for sure not a proponent of "let her fail." That strikes me as not only hostile, but as lazy parenting and poor support for your child.[/quote] Agree with this. Don’t let her fail. Her natural consequences for a D is having you micromanage her assignments and studying/study time and reducing her screen time that isn’t related to schoolwork- make her sit at the table/common house area if she happens to claim “doing homework” when she in in fact not.
