That's wonderful that it was a maturity issue rather than an understanding issue.  Maturity seems like it would be easier to fix.  In my DD's case- it seemed like an understanding issue and 15 to 20 minutes a night wouldn't solve it as she spent much more time on those classes than that.  GPA is still pretty good- just not the 4.0 GPA that I wanted.[/quote]

I think if you find it’s an issue with understanding rather than maturity or organizational issues, then the approach is different.  Make sure it isn’t an undiagnosed learning issue.  Then look into extra help with teacher and tutoring.  Sometimes it has to be explained differently for someone to get it or they have a gap somewhere and need to be brought up to speed.  Also look if course selection makes sense.

Maturity isn’t necessarily the easier of issues to fix for the parent because you can’t force it to happen.  You also have to decide how much you will let your child fail without stepping in and if you can live with the consequences.[/quote]
