[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, if you have not guided your children from a young age and instilled in them a work ethic through supervision and example, then it is too late to have this conversation with a teen.

If your kid does not even understand why they have to submit assignments on time then they are not even aware what is at stake and what cost they will pay down the line. Your kids are basically a product of your parenting. [/quote]

You are focused on a symptom rather than the problem. Children, especially teenagers, are individuals with their own thoughts and motivations. They’re not robots. OP’s daughter has legitimate concerns about the future. She sees the world in dystopian terms. OP needs to discuss the pressures and changing landscape to empower her dd, which will solve the late assignments. She needs to become adaptable to change because the people who are succeed in life. There will always be technological change! I’m 52 and my kids are seeing that I’m having to learn machine learning for my job. Life is constant change and constant learning.[/quote]
