[quote=Anonymous]NP. When you talk about the rules and consequences in advance, be ready to discuss priorities and the kids' path to get back on track. How will they earn money towards a new bike? When will they qualify to get their phone back? How long is the walk to school if they miss the bus? Which issue to tackle first? If the kids are lacking skills, what will you do to help them? I agree that a "talk about how this makes you feel" is not in order. A talk about how to get the kids from their current level of functioning to independent adulthood is, and what is appropriate given their ages. Some parents go "easy" on their kids because drawing boundaries and helping kids rise to higher expectations takes more work than ignoring the slipping grades, and shelling out $ for a new bike.
