New parenting strategy
Trying a new strategy with the now-14-year-old. Not checking his grades unless I get a call from school that he’s failing. The endless nagging/checking on Parent Portal for missed assignments is making me exhausted and making him hate me. He wants to be left alone to make his own mistakes and fix them himself in his own time.
We are at the point where we think this is a good idea. At least worth a try. Maybe if he is totally in charge of himself something will click.
