[quote=Anonymous]Here is what we do for consequences:

First - we have a rule (with consequences) that all homework must be turned in.  No screens until done (and losing screens if not done consistently). No parties, no hanging out with friends (yes to sports and activities).  The problem, OP, is that you should have been doing these consequences all along -  because it's hard later - nothing will feel good enough. We also take away allowance (I'm sure this is controversial but school is my kids' job so that's how we do it).

We don't have consequences for poor test results since that is hard to control except requiring more study time. Again, OP - you should have been monitoring this all along so that when he failed first test, you can require more study time.

Then, basically take away anything else the kid likes. Mine likes social stuff, but you could also take away video games, trips for ice cream or movies, or money or whatever. You have to find something they care about....[/quote]
