Hmmm - for me, when I were a lad, the more hassle (or do I mean reminders...) the less I wanted to do...

Incentives are the most effective in my experience or 'blackmail' as our teenager calls it ie 'you can go out when you've done xyz...'

This looks like an old thread, but we are approaching that time of year already. My daughter had her first GCSE exam this week - she is only 14! I don't want her to grow up & face this so early but she seems to be taking it well (so far anyway). Any tips for getting teens to study? We have SATs coming up as well...

Carrots and sticks!

On the carrot front we get a good tip about keeping the goals short term e.g. if you revise for 2 hours a day all week we'll pay for you to go to the cinema with a friend on the weekend... The other one was to use the opportunty to spend some time with you kids, testing them on what they have learnt, buying pretty stationary to motivate them (it is a daughter for me πŸ˜‰

On the stick front our school had made a great DVD of last years students on the day they got thier results... the students that didn't get what they wanted talkinga about their regrets was enough to get me to study!

Any other tips out there? Sound like a top tips article should be written to support us Dads thru this stressful phase ;o)
