Do you often give your kids a break? We have a fourth and seventh grader. My daughter often feels unwell due to her period or PMS. My younger son is also entering puberty: his mood, appetite, and emotions are all over the place. Last year, he seemed to cope better. Now, every day it's whining that he doesn't want to go 🫠. And he doesn't want to do homework either.

I don't give in. If I give in once, it immediately turns into manipulation. Teenagers are masters at this, it's so easy for them.

No, I didn't give it.

not skipping without a good reason

No, they only let you skip if you're sick

No, I'm not letting up. And considering the huge amount of homework, then sitting down to catch up on it all... it's not great. At our school, it doesn't matter why you missed, but homework and classwork must be done, even if the child was sick. And it's hard for them to catch up on everything when they recover. Plus, they need to cover new topics! Ugh, nooo

I'm not great at this, I often let things slide because it's hard for me to get up in the morning and drive them, and the school is far away.
This year we switched to homeschooling, so naturally, there are no absences 😄 and they're learning the material well because they aren't distracted by friends and such.

No. She doesn't miss it without a reason.

My son missed a total of one year out of four. But he's smart and responsible. He can't afford to miss any more now, he's suffering.
I rarely give my daughter any slack; she's starting to stop studying altogether.

And sometimes I let them stay home. It doesn't turn into daily whining, either.

My youngest hasn't skipped school for no reason in 3 years. With my oldest, I used to let things slide, but it didn't end well. Now, in 9th grade, he's making up for everything he can and can't. If he's really sick, of course I won't send him, but they are skilled at manipulating and making things up. My youngest has already understood that skipping and then catching up isn't his thing.

No slacking off. She goes to school like it's her job. She rarely gets sick, knock on wood, and never for more than 3 days.
