[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 216465, member: 2063"] Well a different side of this is my easy child. I have to tread carefully on the grade subject. She just gets to thinking she is stupid (she so is not) and if I push the grade issue it becomes a problem. However the homework issue we do address. If she doesn't do the work she doesn't do the fun stuff. Because she is an athlete she doesn't want to give that up so it is a good thing to remind her of. I too check the parent site semi regularly and then I ask her questions. I am very careful to make sure I don't sound judgemental. This is such a sensitive area for her. You will have to tiptoe with your easy child how you see best to handle it. I know that with my easy child she actually did extremely well this last trimester. 3 As, a B and a C with the C being in college A and P. Her being a junior I was thrilled with that. This was her best grade period ever. I never put a lot of pressure on her about it and she came to it on her own. My only insistance was the homework. beth [/QUOTE]
