Learning these same lessons. In previous years I would ask daily as soon as D was in the car “Did you speak to teacher about xyz?” Just to be put off and sulked at. This would go on for weeks.
This year, wanting to address a comment, I cant really call every day to bug her (well, I suppose I could…) she has stepped up and become much more communicative with her advisor and teachers.
With teenagers I think it comes down to them feeling independent and if we badger and nag, it is a bit difficult to feel independent about these things.
