My son is 11 years old and he has been really slacking in school. Last week my boyfriend and I attended a school conferance and I was shocked at how bad my son is doing in school and his attitude towards his teacher is unaceptable sooooo on the way home my boyfriend and I had a talk bout what to do.
Well...we laid down the law, no x-box, no video games till he improved his grades and changed his attitude. It was hard for me to be mean like that..I would have gave in to my son but my boyfriend is very firm in a calm nice way and takes the time to talk to my son and makes sure he understands how important his grades are and how a young man should be respectable towards his teachers and adults..my boyfriend is very big on manners, respect and morals and has so much patience with my son. My son adores my boyfriend and really looks up to him.
Today my son came home from school with all his homework....he got a 100 on two tests and I am sooo proud he is trying to do better!!! He is a really smart kid and I just dont know what had gotten in to him latley but it looks like what we are doing is working and I am sooo happy and sooo proud of my son!!!!
