[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we tell her to get some sleep. [b]what else can a parent do[/b]? I have forgotten my calculus and stats. [/quote]

1.  Offer assistance in reviewing material

Not smart enough/DD won't hear of it even if I could help.

2. buying study guides

done

3. help arrange schedule and clear any conflicts to make time to study

not much control over kid's schedule.

4. offer to talk through the best study strategy

I don't know any better.

5. hire a tutor

huh...didn't know there were tutors for this. what are schools for?

6. arrange and/or provide a location or transportation to a study group

hmm...this I should have done.

7. relieve them of some other obligations around the house to free up time and relieve stress

no stress from us!

8. literally force them to study and remove phone/electronics and other distractions

impossible!!

9. generally be open and sensitive to any anxiety and cut them some slack

this I do

10.  Offer incentives or rewards, either for the outcome or the effort

absolutely not.

I'm NOT saying that any parent necessarily should do all or any of these things.  But parents have options.

Guess I need to be a better. Not a great example of an asian tiger parent here. maybe i just appreciate the importance of APs. [/quote]

Maybe I just don't I mean[/quote]
