[quote=Anonymous]My parents were serious about manners, grades, reading, and understanding current events, but generally gave me a ton of leeway on pretty much everything else. They encouraged independence and bravery and sometimes gave me a hard time when they perceived I was being hesitant about trying things - but rarely made me actually stick with something if I didn’t want to. Some of the things I insist on with my own kids are family dinner every night, manners, and helping out around the house. My older kids have to do a couple of ECs each semester, but they can choose anything that interests them. Summer jobs (or internships, or classes) are non-negotiable.[/quote]
