[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the fact that it undermines your trust in him. I don't believe that punishment is the answer or that it will be effective in the long run. Ditto with lecturing. But if you take the remote with you to work, for example (and casually mention why when he asks for it later - "since you weren't able to police yourself on this last week I figured I might need to do it for you this week. I know it's hard to do but I'm confident that you'll get there soon.") Then he can give HIMSELF a little lecture. You don't need to say or do anything more. [/quote] This is the sort of thing I do. I tell my kids that I'm happy to give them as much freedom and responsibility as they can handle and it's up to them to show me how much that is. It is amazing how they rise to the occasion. [/quote]
