[quote=Anonymous]I would not have taken the ski trip away. The ski trip is not a direct consequence to not doing homework. There is no correlation. I would put the ski trip back on and let him know that consequences will be discussed and implemented upon his return home. For the future, you need to figure out a way to “back off” but still support. That can look like this…. You will set a time when he should work on assignments every afternoon and give him a reminder to do so. He will do the homework in front of you. However, you will not assist him further than that unless he asks for it. Every weekend, sit down with him and go over grades. Anything missing? Anything due? Any redos? Also, work on control. Dad should not snatch anything out of anyone’s arms. Dad had the option of not driving the car until the board is back in the house. Fellow teacher and mom[/quote]
