[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 117732, member: 3419"] difficult child has been testing 3 gr levels ahead in math at Sylvan tutoring, and getting F's on his papers at school. He puts the least amt of effort into any and everything, even fun, easy projects. I have set up a mtng with-his teacher. She emailed and agreed that he is unmotivated at school, and suggested that he also have accountability at home. The obvious thing is to cut out his computer time and make sure he works on his homework. In the summer, we used to bench him for being rude at home. But he's actually been very happy lately at home. I know darn well when he has to crack down he'll get cranky again and would love some suggestions for motivating him. He's never been competitive at school ... just in sports. And even then, not as competitive as some of the parents on the stands, LOL! I'm on my way downstairs to unplug his mouse ... [/QUOTE]
