[quote=Anonymous]Punishing kids for grades will not solve your problem. Ask him why he’s struggling and then provide needed supports. He may need a neuropsych to rule out ADHD or anxiety. Don’t assume the worst about your child. My DD at that age would do anything to avoid schoolwork and I was very frustrated. I didn’t punish but did offer to sit with her and help. Beyond that it was natural consequences. Years later I learned she had inattentive ADHD and felt badly about not evaluating sooner. We addressed that and she went on to do very well in school. If your son refuses supports and you rule out an underlying issue, then the consequence is he moves down a level next year. It’s not going to ruin his life and he might be happier with less pressure.
