[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of cajoling him to get better grades - how about you say, "Larlo, you need to achieve a GPA of 3.5 (or whatever is attainable at this point) to remain at your school. If you do not, you will be going to the local public in the fall" Then leave it alone unless he asks you for help. Do not budge. Do not change your mind. And when he baits you with his bullshit comments -- just ignore him and leave the room. There is no reason to give anything he says (in that vein) one iota of attention.[/quote] Discussing grades or dictating a certain gpa is a sure way to make the kid fail out. They're growing up - they have to have the idea that what they are achieving is because of their efforts, not mommy and daddy's. Leave the kid be to figure it out. Your job is to set limits with his behavior but not his grades and what he studies - stay out of that or you are going to cripple the kid.[/quote]
