We are at that point in the school year where a familiar argument can be overheard. It usually follows your eight minute parent-teacher conference where you are told that your child is very bright, but not working to his potential.
“You’re pushing him.”
“No, I’m not, you’re babying him and he won’t learn to be accountable and responsible for his work.”
“You set the expectations, and now you expect him to reach them. What if he can’t?”
“And what if he can, but you’re just allowing him to be lazy?”
This free audio workshop by Dr. Jim Taylor is one of the best discussions I’ve heard on this topic. I suggest that if you are having this discussion, you both listen.
Have a great week!
