Answer 2

How about giving her incentives if she does well? I think she will do better if she has something to work toward. A lot of the reason people do poorly in middle and high school is because they lack motivation and simply don't care. It gets cool not to care in those years no matter how much you spend on education. Also, if she starts doing poorly, it is sort of like a chain reaction because the child loses confidence in herself and stops trying. You want to give her as much encouragement as possible. Sit down with her and have a talk about what is causing her grades to go down and find a solution together. If you let her know that you care, I think she will take her studies more seriously.

Answer 3

The classes get tougher as they get older. She may also be hanging with a different crowd and more influenced by her peers. She may have more outside interests now. Teachers spend less individual time with the students as they get older. There are lots of factors. Why not talk with her about it and see what you can do in working with her to improve them. I always prefer to reward achievements rather than punish failures. Encourage her, let her know how important her grades are if she wants a higher education and let her know that you are just concerned that she is trying and not expecting her to be a super scholar.

Answer 4

it you are Lady, so that means you are so nice to your child, and he don't afraid from you, so you need to use the principle of good and bad with your child.
and if you are man so that means you doesn't pay enough intention to your child and you need to do so.
