Progress Reports came yesterday to the castle. It is a very tempestuous time. Prince Tre is not doing so well and so therefore was feeling depressed over his progress report. I, Queen of Wallacedom, was also feeling very depressed over this report. The King and I, have tried all types of methods to motive Prince Tre to greatness because that is what he is, not because that is a task to accomplish! He just struggles with the buy-in on this, however I had a candor talk with him and told him he is going to have to do more than just his homework and taking notes. He needs to go that extra mile. So he will be doing daily research reports and we have come up with a game that he is really good at. We are playing Jeopardy with the TV airing of the show. Whoever gets the right answer gets 50cents for that answer. That Prince got most of the answers right, this is how I know there is no way he should be bringing home the grades he is..
If anyone has advice I am opened to it!

Never Give Up.. Never Give In
I do my best to teach my Princes & Princess' that you should never give up and never given in. I am not always sure I get through to them, although I pray I do. Prince Dennis is having issues with not succeeding the first time he places his hand to do anything. I can't say that I did not see this trait forming in other arenas but I am very disappointed in the fact that he looses motivation after a loss of some sort. This could be wrestling practice, a video game, a test, etc... I have talked to I am blue in the face. Is there something else that I can do to keep him motivated to never give up and never give in? He has so much potential and so much talented but he has to develop it.
