[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ski trip is weekly for January and February. So this will be one of 7 trips that he'll miss. He was begging for me to back off a little, and so I needed him to try even if it meant that he failed. [/quote] This implies he didn’t try. He isn’t missing ALL assignments, just some. So he’s done 50% of his work. That’s trying. [/quote] NP. Come on, I’m no tiger mom but doing 50% of your school work is not the standard.[/quote] It is for kids with ADHD. The struggle is real. [/quote] No way. If this kid is taking medication, he either needs a higher dose or another medication. If he is choosing to not do his work, he shouldn’t be rewarded with a ski trip. My son has ADHD and the deal was that his work got done before he did fun stuff. Period. This kid will be a total mess in a few years in college without expectations and structure. [/quote]
