[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree. We demand our kids work just like we did at a young age. It teaches them a work ethic that will carry them a long way. The kids who have a life spoon fed to them do not do well in the real world. [/quote] Interesting discussion. I am Asian and we don't expect teenagers to have part time jobs. Asian parents want their kids to focus on their grades and academics which we consider their "job". [/quote] I'm Asian, and I have told my kids that they will have to work a PT job if they want extra spending money. Having a PT job in HS/college years teaches a teen some responsibility and how to deal with people in the work place. There is value in that later on in life. I think some parents do a disservice to their kids by not cultivating their social skills and such. These soft skills are quite important in most of the workplace.[/quote]
