Summary: #2077 No parent wants to see a child bring home an ugly report card! Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens. Okay, not every student will earn straight A’s! But if your teen is failing to follow through on basic responsibilities … like completing homework on time or showing up to class … it’s time to deliver some consequences. Let him know that from now on, he’ll lose privileges when he misses assignments or when his grades drop. A few weeks without a cell phone or videogames can go a long way in teaching responsibility. Hey, I know it’s hard to step back and let your teen face the outcome of his actions. But believe me when I say he’ll be thanking you later! Your son doesn’t need to be the valedictorian! But he needs to practice the basic disciplines of learning.
