Son is doing well on his grades now and communicates easily with us

“D. got in trouble a couple times for not doing homework. We did some handlings and this seemed to handle the situation. Then it came up again, but worse. He failed a class, when he is normally an A and B grade student.

“I realized I needed help. He was prioritizing computer over homework and life in general. He’s a good kid but that wasn’t good. It was suggested we send him to Mojave Academy.

“So we sent him. Before, we had to nag and remind him a lot to do things. Once he returned, he did things to help more willingly. It was really nice to have him help with the dishes after dinner or take out the trash without a long repetitive dragged out upsetting nagfest.

“I just enjoy D. more now than I did before he went to Mojave. He’s doing well on his homework and his grades now and that sure is nice. He communicates easily with us. He’s 15 and many people I know have a difficult relationship with their boys at this age. I’m not one of them and I’m very pleased about that.

“We’re hoping to send D. again next summer. I feel it was good for him to be away from us and see a different way of doing things. It was good for him to choose friends newly and perhaps think about how to be a good friend and get along with others.”
