How to motivate your teenage daughter study if she doesn't have good grades?

Is there any way? Please give me ideas.


Time management helps? Should I reward her more often or make her stick to the rules?


And actually I have no idea how many things are inside a 18 year old teenage girl's mind.How to motivate your teenage daughter study if she doesn't have good grades?
I write this assuming that she's not one of those kids who fails at school no matter how hard they try. Your question kind of leads me to the idea that she's not the most studious person.





18's a tough age. I remember being a girl at that age.





Honestly (%26amp; you're not going to like this answer but it's true), whether she's a senior in HS, or a freshman in college, she's on her own now. She's an adult (or she will be very shortly), decisions about her priorities are under her jurisdiction now. As much as you may want (as a parent) to guide your child to the successful path in life, sometimes you've got to accept that they've got to make their own mistakes.





The older they are, the harder it is to change their habits (%26amp; by age 18 it's almost impossible for an outsider to do it manually), but in any case, it's THEY who have to make the decision to change. You can perhaps try to give incentive, but if she's not following the rules, then that's lack of discipline on her part. Self-discipline is something SHE has to develop. You can't do it for her. If she were younger, I'd say punish her for breaking the rules/thinking she's so special they don't apply to her, but since that's not the case, it's up to you to really know whether or not it'll do any good.





I'd say if she's living in this house (and I'm paying for her schooling in the case of a college student) then she has to follow the rules of the house (note how I did NOT say ';my rules';- teens get very adverse when they hear that sort of thing b/c they think you're on a power trip for no good reason) %26amp; devote more/a certain amount of time to studying instead of doing whatever she does now for fun. She needs to learn that she cannot freeload (especially now that she's 18) %26amp; expect everything to be provided to her when she chooses not to work (either in school or in a job for that matter).





Of course, if she's of the mindset that ';she's an adult'; now, then this will do no good. Then it's just drop her in the pool and see if she can swim. Tough love (when used correctly) is a better teacher of wisdom than a lifetime's worth of ranting.





One idea is to say, ';OK, since you think school's not important, then you must think you have the skills necessary to succeed in the adult (business) world without it. Go get a job and start paying your own expenses.'; I'm not saying kick her out or anything, but asking an 18-year old to have a job (considering that many 16-year-olds have jobs) and take some responsibility for the resources she's consuming is far from unreasonable. If you want, you could even take the (rent/bills/food/etc) money and put it in a (secret) savings account for her %26amp; give it to her when she moves out.





Realizing and foreseeing the consequences of one's actions (s/a not studying hard and getting bad grades) is something all children have to learn how to do, and the sooner the better. My younger brother is now 19, works in a grocery store, and has no real plans for college. He knows college is important, he knows that in order to get a really good job, he needs a degree, but as much as the entire family would like him to go, it's his decision in the end. It's his life %26amp; he can do what he wants with it. At some point, the parents %26amp; older sibling's responsibility ends and the person's own self-responsibility takes over. The bottom line is a person needs to be able to live their life in a manner they choose because their efforts will ultimately be the currency for their success.How to motivate your teenage daughter study if she doesn't have good grades?
All you have to do is to talk to her seriously and tell her you know she can do better than her other previous grades


be always supportive and ask her needs.or maybe she just lack loving parents.


Spend quality time with her.make her feel warm love thing LoL


ask her if she needs help on anything


be a nice loving caring parent to her stay by her side.
Incentives are nice. I know when i was younger i got payed like 30 dollars for each A i got and a B was like 20. Im not sure though, if she has a job then she probably wont care about the money. Maybe get her something she wouldn't or cant get herself if she gets good grades.
