[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 192314, member: 1233"] At 14 maybe it is time to make the responsiblility for remembering this HIS? If you just make the rule that if his grade shows as being below whatever limit you set then he loses his phone (or whatever the consequence you choose), and then don't remind him ever. then when you check grades if it is below you just implement the consequence without lectures, fussing or anything, then he will remember in the future AND take responsibility for getting the assignments. It seems to take a few cycles with a difficult child to understand this, but the less we talk and the more we set the consequences and implement them with-o lectures, fussing, or much talk at all, the more our difficult children grow independent. Sorry he is acting irresponsibly. [/QUOTE]
