[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 241270, member: 3208"] Hi Daisy and Robin, you guys are on the right track and I know how hard it is. I had to step back from my difficult child 2/easy child's school stuff when she was 15--should have done so sooner. And, she has had failures and one summer she had to work with a tutor and take exams and basically had a stressful, hard summer but it was what she had to do to go on to 11th grade. I had to bite my tongue so many times and I slipped up a lot too because I was worried she wouldn't get to 11th grade. But she had to take ownership of her schooling and decide whether it was worth it to pass. Also, she had many anxiety issues related to school and some of the time she was on homebound instruction because she just couldn't do school. Sometimes she went half a day and was tutored for the remaining classes. Another issue was that she has a great fear of being judged by people--so being evaluated (like with report cards and tests) is a big deal to her. She is doing better. I do not judge her at all--I learned I can't even compliment her on a good grade or she might become very angry and upset. So, I have to stay almost completely out of the school issues. She is now a second semester senior and I am on pins and needles--she should pass, she has been doing better this year but it could fall apart. She is having a hard time emotionally right now, in fact she missed school today and a day last week too. I know how much she wants to graduate and am hoping that will be enough to get her through. It is very hard to sit by and not nag or preach or warn what will happen, etc. She knows what she has to do and it only makes her more nervous if I try to "help." Anyway, I kind of got off track but I want you to know you have my support and I wish you both the best! Jane [/QUOTE]
