Default Re: How Do I Motivate My Son?

Well one possibility would be that he could be too smart for his classes. None of us here know your son, but what you have described sounds a little like what kids do when school bores them. If it’s not a challenge, they lose interest, and then bad grades happen. Just one thought…but that is probably wishful thinking for a parent.

I kinda am wondering how someone can be doing so horrible anyway. If you are home, and make him do his homework…how can he miss assignments? How can he not be learning something if you are there to make sure he’s spending time doing it? Do you guys work with him to be sure he’s getting it? How can he only want to be with friends and play video games? Why is he even allowed to do those things?
