[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 39312, member: 805"] Wendy, you don't have to punish her to help her (although I do understnad that sometimes they look at help as punishment!). Since she's all over the place grade wise, she needs a focus. She would probably benefit from structure with her studies outside of school, and a very clear understanding that mom and dad are right there with her 100%. How would she respond if you sat down with her for 30 minutes a day and helped her study or assisted her with a writing assignment? What about contacting the guidance office and seeing if there is a senior that would be interested in tutoring a couple times a week. Maybe a mentoring relationship would be "incentive inspiring." Please go and get online with her and look up the college info. It may open her eyes a little if she is so insistant on "getting outa here!!!!" I think you and ex need to be careful that she doesn't view the talk as a confrontation. You know how sensative these teens can be!!! Good luck. Sharon [/QUOTE]
