[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A message of home for all you moms who are letting your kids wear shorts in the winter because (A) if they're cold, that's on them and (B) you realize, intellectually, that they respond to temperatures differently than you do: At the end of the day yesterday, my kid asked for waterproof footwear.[/quote] So you’re saying it works, awesome![/quote] +1 Natural consequences work! Early in the school year, 14 yr old DS didn't want to be bothered to bring a jacket and/or umbrella when where was rain in the forecast. He got soaked walking home. He lived (and didn't get a cold because that's not how it works). Now he checks the forecast and keeps his umbrella in his backpack. Had I *forced* him to put on a jacket/bring an umbrella we'd be in a face-saving power struggle and he would never admit he needed either. [/quote]
