[quote=Anonymous]You're the parent, you need to stay in control, for starters. Your kid is 14. It's time for kid to make a few mistakes. If you tell kid to do something and he doesn't do it (homework, etc.) that's on him at this point. You shouldn't be "making" him do his homework, only suggesting he do his homework. Big difference between the two. You have homework, right? You should get to it. That is all you say to a high school kid. It's up to him to motivate himself. You aren't going to be following him around a college campus, telling him he has 48 hours to read 200 pages for that class. No, that's on him. Learning how to self manage starts now. Store your ego away, and let him learn a few hard lessons.[/quote]
