| Go to the college board website and have him look at the profiles of students who get into the better schools in the US. He needs to understand the consequences of his actions and that he is closing off some opportunities by not doing his best. If he is okay with that, then you just need to be.
If he truly wants to go to a good school in the US he is going to have to work for it. As I used to tell my kids, "Sure, I want to run a marathon, but I never run and I am not in training." Nice idea but.....
If he feels the future is about your goals instead of his he may be resistance. He needs to determine what his goals are and whether he is willing to work for them. |
