My daughter is a young senior, she won't turn 18 until a month into her freshman year of college. I'm hoping some of this is just maturity but I know its not all that.
She is a very good student - so she does her homework and does it well, sometimes though she crams because she procrastinates. A trait she picked up from her mother and it DRIVES ME INSANE.....
We have had a million conversations about it but it still the same behavior. I know part of not wanting to deal with things is anxiety related but she has learned how to deal with that through the years with therapy.
But the one thing she still does not do is stay on top of emails and communications ESPECIALLY for upcoming college. She get the email alert on her phone, read it then just completely ignore/forget about it..... I MADE HER install a calendar on her phone screen and told her to update that everyday or every email.. I've told her to set alerts/alarms on her phone to remind her of stuff.
Well yesterday I ask if she saw the email about the Math assessment she said yes, I asked if she scheduled it she said "I have to schedule it?" I then made her log into her school email and noticed she got an email 2 weeks ago for upcoming college physical for athletics.... I LOST MY **** ...... probably over reacted BUT STILL IS DRIVING ME NUTS.....
Its really her only "flaw" right now and I don't know how to change her behavior. We talk all the time how she has to to this stuff on her own especially when college starts ups....
Just looking for any tricks , SOMETHING i can get her over the hump
