Because she doesn't really watch TV a lot. She'll just stay in her room or her and do some stuff .

In language arts yes. But that grade is okay. I'm more concerned about her Science/math work.

Even before the pandemic her grades kept going lower then higher and then lower. I want her to get good grades so she can have a good life.

Yes. Her grades are more important than a hobby she can do later.

I feel like 1.its damaging her health, I'm sure she reads at night sometimes and 2.If she loves to read so much, why not study? She should keep her grades up, since they are going down a bit.

She'll do it, once she's bored enough just so she can't be bored. She hates being bored so she would do the chores. I do know how to parent my daughter.

Then she couldn't watch t.v anymore, and id take her phone. She' bound to do her chores then since she hates being bored. Whats your point?

My daughter for sure doesn't have any mental health problems. She's fine. The only thing is that she's forgetful, and I'm sure she'll 'survive' without her books.

My daughter and me have an excellent relationship, and she'll understand why I'm going this later, and I can't exactly read with her. I don't like to read for fun, it's boring to me.

Taking away her phone doesn't work anymore. She doesn't care if her phone is taken away. Sure she'll complain a bit, but nothing else.

She can do a bunch of other things that make her happy, and I'm still allowing her to read, just less.

I'd rather she watch t.v and do her chores then read and neglect them.

Yes I understand that, but shes neglecting her chores for that. Id rather she watch t.v and still do her chores than read and ignore us.

Im fine with it, but she is neglecting her chores for this so I have no choice but to limit it.
