[quote=Anonymous]My child has generalized anxiety and adhd so I’d never say this to my kid. I don’t know if those are issues your child may have or not. I would definitely make myself available for counsel and advising and make this seem more like a collaboration rather than a threat. So many family dynamics could be at play here that it’s impossible to give accurate advice. For example, if your standards are too high for a student who has learning disabilities, then you are not being reasonable. Or maybe you are reasonable but your wife came from a permissive family and believes in letting your son do whatever, then she might be too permissive. Keep an open mind and see if you can find the root of the issue and consider any missing pieces of your parenting style, how you and spouse were raised, if your son has mental problems or learning issues, etc. They could be really scared and not feel comfortable telling you that if you are an alpha bro dad, etc. [/quote]
