Question

What’s a good gift to gives to a 16 year girl who use to get bad grades and this last quarter get an a and b and c’s?

Besides taking her out for dinner.

Answer 1

a beauty day

hair and nails

Answer 2

Well being a 16 year old, id love if my parents actually acknowledged it by doing something unique. Since going to dinner, movies, shopping is all everyday thing.

what about a good book lol, or sit down and talk to her.

Answer 3

A car, just kidding, probably taking her shopping to get a new outfit or just rewarding her with money, if your her parent maybe giving her more privledges like, a later cerfew or letting her sleep over her freinds house more often.

Answer 4

How about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store?  Or, if she likes electronic gadets then one for an electronic store.  At that age, she would probably love to have some shopping money.  Also, don't forget the tiara to make her feel like the princess of the day.

Answer 5

Well, i would sit her down and talk with her, 1st congrats 2 her! then tell her that the a's and b's are really good and the c is an improvement, then keep up with the grades every week and make a plan such as; if she keeps tha a's and b's, she will get 10 points each week. But make sure you start her out with 50 points. Then ask her what she really wants, if it's a 16 yearold maybe a tiffany and co. or coach, or soething juicy couture. then set a point value for that item and work towards it.

P.S; if she brings the c up, give her 20 points, but if her grades drop, take 5 points for every letter grade that they drop.

Answer 6

I don't believe in bribing children to get and retain good grades.

Answer 7

re do her bedroom.

Answer 8

If they have a car, get them a neat car accessory.

Answer 9

depends on price but i would look into an ipod or zune little costly but show her your happy

Answer 10

buy something she really likes...

Answer 11

You can never go wrong with cash..Also, if this is coming from a mother, then you can take her to pick out an outfit for school or maybe a new pair of shoes. A gift card to her favorite store is a great idea too...I'm only 25 and I much would have rather had cash or a gift card than anything else at that age.

Answer 12

a video game if she likes them! How about ask her what she would like!

Answer 13

well first congratulations to her and maybe you could take her and a few friends out to the mall and movies

Answer 14

Might find out what she likes. What motivates her may be completely different than what motivates others.

Answer 15

A gift card to her favorite store. This is a huge. She must have worked really hard to bring those grades up.

Answer 16

Take her out shopping and let her buy a few new outfits and accessories to go with them, I would have loved that when I was 16, as a matter of fact I'd still love it at 21!

Answer 17

I find it ridiculous to reward something that a teenager should be doing anyway, but you DO need to give her the recognition she deserves for her hard work to improve her grades.  Spend time with her, give her praise & encouragement and talk with her about how SHE feels about it, the process, etc.  If you really want to make an evening about her, a nice dinner or activities of her choosing is appropriate.  But not a pricey gift.
