Is your son self- motivated?  Does your daughter take her education seriously?

Getting your child to complete his homework or attend all his classes might be like pulling teeth.  It’s frustrating.  Most likely, you’re tired of pushing him to perform better… and he’s digging his heels in because he feels manipulated.

My advice is to make a serious evaluation of your own expectations for your child.  Are you projecting your own desires on your son or daughter?  Hey … hand the outcome of their education over to them!

No doubt …you’ll run into bumps in the road.  And you won’t always see the grades you’d like.  But over time your child will learn to self- manage… to set goals… and achieve them!
