[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't allow my kid. I encourage her to do as well as she can. I know that in a few years, she will be in college. In college, I will not be able to control her workload. When she is working after grad school, I will not be able to make sure she does a good job. So, I teach her the importance of caring -- of taking responsibility. How? By letting her earn what she earns. I require her to do the work (otherwise, I will not pay for the phone). She is on her own for the grades. We do not hound her about things. (other than the one comment a year ago: miss an assignment, no phone for a week). Oh, and she hates getting anything lower than an A-. But, it happens. I do not worry about her in college. [/quote] ^^This, my friends, is what parenting is about. Raising people who can take care of themselves.[/quote]
