[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in school, my mom's rule was that she would not nag us about school as long as we got A's. Anything less, and she was allowed to nag as much as she wanted. My kids are too young, but I think this is the strategy I would try. Maybe draw a slightly lower line (B's?) and try that? Nag nag nag, take away electronics and time out with friends until homework is done, and hold out the nag-free line as a reward?[/quote] Don't draw a line above where your kids can deliver. If I have knowledge to share from my son's recent troubles, it would be to have projected fewer expectations onto my child rearing. Raising a teen who isn't thriving by the measures I valued when he was younger.... humbling. [/quote]
