[QUOTE="klmno, post: 224407, member: 3699"] Hi, Jennifer! Sorry I'm so late to this- since there are many replies already I admit, I didn't read them all. I just wanted to offer support and throw out one rambling thought- I'm surprised that the sd is letting her stay on track with the cutting classes and failing a few. I understand the need for the consequences but psychiatrist told me something once that has stuck in my mind- if we are concerned about the appropriateness of how the kid is spending his/her time, the last thing we want to do is use the opportunity for them to do something constructive as a bargaining chip or punishment. I think he was right about this- it would only give her more free time to do things you might not want her doing if she isn't in her extra-ciricualr activities that you approve of. Of course, that just leaves us parents with less to use as consequences for our kids, so I don't know the answer. Please ignore this whole post if you already addressed this- I'm not fully awake from my long night last night!! [/QUOTE]
