I think when it comes to grades, there's 2 things to keep in mind: is my child a generally successful or do they need a plan of remediation? To think of a plan of remediation is a lot more complicated. It has to be proportionate to the problem and time to the severity of the problem. The bigger the problem, the more immediate the reward you're going to have and the more specific the reward. I think if the kids are doing generally fine, it's just a celebration. Hooray, we have enough stress as parents. My god, the marriage satisfaction rates go down when kids enter our lives and go back up when they leave. We got so much stress all the time and if the kid comes home with a good report card, Let's totally enjoy in whatever way we want that make sense to us. Once you've seen one family, you see one family and I think in terms of celebration - enjoy. They are no rules.
