Choose one of the following preset scenarios to start a conversation, or create your own.
The conversation every parent dreads. Confronting your daughter about a failing grade on a major test. The air in her bedroom is thick with tension. She's sitting on her bed, avoiding your gaze, a mix of guilt and defiance on her face. This is a critical moment to address her slipping grades and understand what's really going on.
A few days after the big talk, you sit down with Jenny to help her with a difficult assignment. This is a chance to offer support, observe her study habits, and see if the root of her academic struggle is a lack of understanding or a lack of effort.
Jenny has landed a lead role in the school play and is bubbling with excitement. This is a chance to see her in her element—confident, happy, and thriving outside of academics. It's a reminder of the wonderful, talented kid she is beneath the recent struggles.
