All advanced placement classes? Two extra curricular activitites plus a job? And you want to punish her for getting C's? Causes no problems at all - abides by curfews, etc?

Punishing her would be kinda like kicking a tired dog for not wagging his tail enough.

Your daughter doesn't need punishment. She needs time management and a break. At her age, heck at any age, a boyfriend is really important. This girl's life sounds spread awfully thin. Throw punishment on it and I think this will go downhill really fast.

Have her drop the job or at least one of the extra curricular activities. Show her how to manage her time to use that "space" for study time. That will still give her time with the boyfriend, time for school and something after school. Maybe even time for her Dad.

You don't have much time before she leaves for school and then leaves forever. Don't screw up now.
