[QUOTE="Andy, post: 200846, member: 5096"] If he honors that teacher, I think this would be good. This teacher could "check in" with difficult child. "difficult child, I have been wondering how school is going this year. Do you like your classes? How about hw? Each year you get more and more hw. Do you have a special time each night set aside to do it? One thing that helps with hw is no t.v. on at that time. You don't need that distraction. Many kids don't realize that hw is a large part of their grades. Just doing it helps and if you do it well, your grades will be higher. I know you can do very well in all your classes. I will check in with you at the end of the quarter to see those great grades. I know you can do it." type talk. My difficult child's therapist just told him no t.v. during hw. difficult child will follow that advise because it came from someone he admires. He will not follow it if it is me saying it. As our kids pull away from us in their quest to grow up, they will turn to other adults. We just hope those other adults will be on our side and continue to guide them in the right direction. So, if there is an adult your child likes that you approve of, go ahead and encourage that friendship. [/QUOTE]
