My 10 yo DD hasn't been turning in all of her homework this last week. I have a set time that they must do homework, (right after dinner). But apparently she isnt doing all of it. Any suggestions to keep her motivated. She is in the fouth grade and I really dont want her grades to slip, she will be going to middle school next year. --------------------

Does your school do this? -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

They do, but it's not updated? Guess the teacher has spring fever as well.

Me too, Me too!!

I let my 13 YO know I was doing this, and it worked like a charm......because she didn't want to listen to me "getting on her case" as she put it!! -------------------- Beverly, DH Eje, and mom to PJ, 20 Leah, 18 Sara, 16 Anders, 5 and Emily, almost 2 "A mother holds her children's hands for just a little while, but she holds their hearts forever."

Oh gooshhh.... do you remember how we were at 10 -- scarey thought! -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)
