[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lessons learnt 1. It's like pulling teeth 2. " I am almost done" from dc usually means "nothing is done" as kids under-estimate the tasks 3. Give them small, concrete deadlines. Otherwise they will just day dream. [/quote] This is SO true in our house. #2 esp. gave me a chuckle. This is our conversation every. single. night.[/quote] Oh yes. I tried all summer to get them to work on essays (I have two boys), reminding them how busy they would be. Researched, printed out online suggestions for specific supplements, etc. Did anyone listen? No. Is anyone's Common App essay done? Nope. Sigh. "But we have until Sunday, mom." Gonna be a fun weekend.[/quote]
