Looking for ideas.
We have a senior. Graduating high school May 2020.
She is smart, makes As, AP, dual enrollment, NHS, etc. However, as we get into senior year she is retrogressing.
Always complaining, acts entitled, becoming lazy with school work, everything is a battle with her. What she wants is not a battle but chores & academics is a Battle.
It is exhausting. At this point I do not believe going straight into college will work. With no one to check on her, it could be disastrous.
She could get into good colleges but with no effort in this phase, it looks dismal.
I sometimes take on the work to research and remind her to apply for scholarships, but where does my role end and where does her part begin? Is this too much handholding?
She can tell you the A to Z of celebrities but when we discuss school, it becomes a calculus problem.
She may need a gap year to figure out what next.
Would prefer something Faraway from home so she does not assume we will constantly pick up after her.
Any suggestions on how to go about this? If she could just save this drama for June 2020 after she graduates it would help her and us.
What can we do?
Can anyone share?
Yes there are those with the great best situations with their kids, lucky you, l am hoping for anyone who has faced this to tell me how it all played out.
