[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 603468, member: 17060"] Did he perform well until he got the bike? If the poor grades are due to a slacker attitude because he got a dirt bike by all means, take that thing away. Has he always been a poor performer? It is possible that the poor grades and attitude are the result of some other problem. Punishing your son, with no chance of him achieving the goals that you set, could back fire. Perhaps he needs a tutor, extra instruction, glasses or something else. Does he have a problem with his peers? Find out the root cause of the problem then work with him to resole or overcome the problem. Yes, I would take the bike away. However, I would also work WITH HIM on improving his grades. Simply taking away something that he enjoys will NOT improve his grades. You need to work with him to achieve the goals that the two of you set. If you son sees that you are truly trying to help him he will not resent the fact that you took away something he enjoys. In fact, my guess is that he’ll work harder to please you and regain his freedom. [/QUOTE]
