[quote=Anonymous]Advice from mom of two college students (one gifted/LD) who are both thriving: The place to address the problem was when projects/HW were not being turned in. I would have addressed those issues, not grades. So, if you think that she has no ADD/exec. functioning disorder/LDs, I would just quietly mention at some point that there will be a 90 minute study time Sunday through Thursday evenings. If she says she doesn't have that much work, then say she can read for pleasure. Meanwhile, you need to be reading or working quietly in the same room (no electronics, obviously). As at least one other person has suggested, I would completely shift your focus away from grades, and put it back on learning. You didn't say much about that in your postings. And, it is her life. Your relationship should be more important than her grades. [/quote]
