[quote=Anonymous]20 hours seems like way too much and I wouldn't be surprised if your daughter feels that way too once she starts working. It seems like an arbitrary number to go from no job to 20 hours/week and definitely someone a kid would think up. Absolutely nothing wrong with working at that age--I had my first job at 11 and actually got let go when the manager was reminded child labor under 12 is illegal. I kept up odd jobs (mostly babysitting and pet sitting) until I got a "real" job at Panera at 15.5. I think your main job here is to steer her towards smarter hours and help her pick a job that makes sense for her skills and interests. [/quote]
