[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew graduated this last weekend.  School was easy for him.  Never got a B in high school. He “took some honors classes and some AP classes but not too many because didn’t want to risk getting a “B.””  Didn’t have to study. Graduated with all the cords and everything.

He was rewarded by extended family throughout the years due good grades (lots of $).

Meanwhile my freshman with ADHD works really hard.  Studies.  Meets with tutors.  Status after school for help with teachers.  (Has IEP).  He works hard for his “B” and “C”.

Never a word from family.  Sometimes my dad will say - good improvement but won’t have him a $20 like he did for the other kid.  He needs more reinforcement than anyone.  Does not get rewarded at all.  My family is well aware of his struggles.

I’m so sad that my kid isn’t recognized for his successes even if they aren’t “As”.

Well why aren't they? I know people who praise their kid for every little thing. Make a big deal of it and others will follow.[/quote]
