One of the most important things that I can say about teens is to keep the communication open. Convey ALL of your concerns about your daughter's grades to her. Sometimes, as parents, we push and push, but ultimately the choice is theirs and I think that they rebel at all of the pushing. Let her know how important her decisions are to her future and then put it back in her lap as to what she's going to do about it. Let HER take responsibility for her own decisions. I know that it's easier said then done too! Good luck!
Can this be framed?!!?? Beautifully said Diana!
