Great ideas! Nice of you to pass them on.

I'm going to chime in here, as a teacher. Kids whose parents are involved and teach them that school is something to work at and is important do way better in most cases than those that don't. I would encourage parents to be involved and stay involved. I teach elementary, where I get most parents to conferences. My friends that teach in high school say they get just a few parents out of 160 kids!! Something is wrong with that. Just because they are older kids doesn't mean they can, or should, do it on their own.

To the OP, I hope you got some great ideas. I bet the teachers at the school appreciate your support of your son.

Good to see a teacher's perspective. I agree that kids in the upper grades are still kids that need parental involvement and support.

--------------------------------

Parenting is hard. Personally, I'd rather see an involved parent than one that is absent.

 

[debster812]

In and of itself, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with parents helping/guiding their students. As long as the help is asked for, and that's all it truly is, help. What initially took me aback, was the OPs use of 'us', 'I', and 'we'. That seemed to me to be slightly over involved, that's all.

FTR DS is a 17YO Jr in High School, works hard, gets good grades, has a handful of great friends, plays soccer, and is polite and respectful. He'll often bounce ideas off DH or I with regards to projects, paper, etc. We offer opinions if we have them, and that's it. If he needs more help he'll be back.

There is a huge range between over involved and absent. IMO the OP sounded very over involved. That doesn't make me an absent patent.

There are some on this tread that doesn't understand that. IMO, it would be a heck of a lot faster easier for me to do thing for my child an teach her to do them for herself. Brainstorming campaign slogans and platform with my child is being involved but my hope would be doing that for her first race would give her the skills to do it on her own for subsequent ones.

And I talk like this all the time...I was just telling my brother a funny story of DS and I hanging a shower curtain...I used the term when "we" were hanging the shower curtain, I wasnt doing any of it except telling him what to do bc I have a messed up shoulder and cant reach up.

Exactly this. There is a big difference between advising or helping your child with his/her school work and doing it for them. Yes, sometimes it may seem easier to just do it yourself. But you are not doing your child any favor in the long run. The OPs opening post just smacked of overinvolvement. Now, if the son had been the one to request help with a list of possible slogans, I'd have been happy to contribute.

 

[OceanAnnie]

It was a general statement, not focused on anyone.

I agree with you about there being a range.

I can see where someone could interpret what the OP stated as overly involved. I didn't see it that way. Doesn't mean either of us is "right" or "wrong". We just perceived it in a different way.

Maybe people do understand there is a range and they see the OP's involvement on the lower end and some on this thread see it on the extreme. It's funny how people can read the same thing and get a different conclusion. Happens all the time though.

Yeah. I know people like that too. We joke about there being a pronoun problem.

 

[Pumpkin meme]

BTW, for those lurking, I'd just like to say "Yes my kid is that fabulous" Carry on to all those who are hiding behind their screens.

I am not hiding.....I'm lurking ..there's a HUGE difference

Just wanted to clarify

 

[carissa1970]

You did see where I said "for those lurking" right? And aren't you just to be applauded for showing yourself. Now run back and tell all the other little trolls what you did so they'll be proud of you and pat you on the back. It's sad when I have to have someone tell me that others are out there slamming me because of something I posted on the internet. Find another hobby. I'm not interested in being swept up in your bully pulpit nonsense. And obviously there's a mole amongst you because someone told me about it. Have fun finding them.

This is just like high school all over again. So bizarre.

Wow!

 

[JanaDee]

Now let me ask you a question. What makes you think your opinion on parenting is wanted or needed by anyone on the DIS? I certainly didn't see the OP ask for it.

Now maybe Gretchen and Regina can move along and find someone else to bully.

You obviously have me mixed up with another poster.

I have no idea who Gretchen and Regina are and seriously? Bully?

 

[Disney Doll]

I don't have kids so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can give you perhaps a different perspective as to why there can be such a strong reaction to what might appear to be over-involved parenting.

It's my opinion that over involved parenting seemed to start about 20-25 years ago. That's when I first noticed (because I have nieces and nephews so I went to a lot of kid-related activites) that parents didn't seem to want to let anything negative happen to their child. They didn't want to have their child be disappointed, they didn't want to their child to experience anything negative, they wanted the road their child traveled to be perfectly smooth and free of any distress or disappointment. Everybody got an award, everybody made the team, everybody was praised for doing what was basically average things ("Great job Johnny, you threw that ball 10 feet").

The problem is that what happens with that is that every child raised like that then has no idea how to deal with the disappointments in life when they occur as they age. Every child raised like that expects that the whole world is going to treat them like an absolutely special snowflake. How do I know this? Because I work with many 20-somethings and this is their attitude. Their expectation is truly that the rules of the workforce are always going to be able to be bent to accomodate them and their needs. It's a very difficult lesson for them to learn that no, the world does not revolve around you. They are easily discouraged when things don't go their way at work, when their boss may actually have to "coach" them (because we can't call it reprimand anymore because that's too negative and might offend their sensibilities) when they do something wrong.

Now I agree that helping your kid do a student council thing isn't starting them on the road to perdition, unless you (and I mean the Universal You, not specifically you OP) are "only helping" them do every single thing in their life. And it's an easy trap to fall into because most parents are well-meaning and want the best for their children.

That being said OP, if your son was Student Council VP last year and he did a good job and was well-regarded in his role, then how about building on that? I'm not feeling very clever right now, but something along the lines of "I worked hard for you last year and I'll do the same this year" although I'm sure there's a far wittier way to say it. And if he can include bullet points of some of the things he accomplished last year, that might be good too.

Just came to me....How about a target theme? As in "We hit our target last year with me as Student Council VP, let's do it again this year". Targets are a masculine thing and will give him the opportunity to tout his SC accomplishments from last year to show his successes. He can do handouts in the shape of a target. He can somehow incorproate arrows into it...maybe his name on the target and an arrow going into the bullseye with either something he accomplished last year or something he HOPES to accomplish they year. Or puttung his accomplishemnt on the target and his name on the arrow hitting the target might be better.

That's it...my creativity is all used up for the day.

Who are Gretchen and Regina?

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Again with the nasty, rude behavior. .

That's right. None of us want any nasty, rude behavior around here. So cut it out everyone. None of this.

And I also understood your implied attitude that you are somehow a better parent because you take a hands off approach. And your use of "attachment parenting" as a negative just reinforces my original understanding. And here's the bigger question - what do you care? What places you in a position to judge others' parenting styles and decide what is the "right" way and what is the "wrong" way?

Or this.

Guess what? My daughter also has a 4.0 GPA, as of the end of junior year #27 out of a class of 627 and takes honors and AP courses.

or this.

OMG how could I be so stupid? Of course that's it! The parents are obviously going to school and taking all the children's tests too and giving presentations and participating class. Forgive me for not catching that! I am truly humbled by your obviously superior intellect and parenting skills. I'll be sure to tell my daughter there's no need for college because she is truly doomed by the mother who raised her.

Oh wait. These were all you. My bad.
