[quote=Anonymous]Just tell them you are now putting the A money toward college and switch the motivation currency to something they are already getting. Like, if they want to keep having access to video games or TV? They need to keep doing well in school. New clothes, participating in athletics, whatever. The grades need to stay up. My kid goes to a hippy dippy school without grades but he knows if he wants the freedom to decide how to handle his assignments on his own (i.e., when and how much to study, and when and how much to goof around), I need to keep getting exceptional reports about him from school. He doesn't get money for doing well, he gets to be left alone. That is his "currency" and frankly probably more motivating to him than money. [/quote]
