In fact, he is one grade behind in math (the subject he dislikes), but a few grades ahead in history and science because he likes those subjects. it’s really frustrating. Right now we are trying to make him earn things like having computer time, having a friend over, or watching a selected video. Hopefully this will help him to get more motivated.

Have a great trip!

I struggle with motivating my children too, especially my oldest son… and frankly, I think I need to come up with some fairly hard punishment for not getting any work done aorund here, I have been way to easy on him, and always give way too many reminders, pokes, and proddings along the way to get done what he does manage to get done- but I KNOW that NOTHING would get done if there were no reminders or if there were no incentives… I’ve even tried fining him, but money doesn’t even mean much to him yet… I need to come up with some serious and negative consequences before it’s too late- I’m afraid to think of the consequences he’ll face some day in the ‘real world’ if I don’t help pull him through and out of some of his character defficiencies…

Well, enough whining on somebody else’s blog!!!

Nice to ‘meet’ you- I saw your name on another blog, I’ve enjoyed your posts so far, keep up the good writing,

hang in there and keep on keepin’ on,

enjoy them,

I just emailed you the assignment 🙂 Sorry about the no-right click on my blog. Unfortunatley, the graphic artists of the graphics that I post on my blog, have required a code to be placed so that their work is not copied and sadly it has a negative side of not allowing anything to be copied. I will remember this in the future when I post assignments to make them easier.
