[quote=Anonymous]Everything is fine as long as you mentioned that if he didn’t do his school then he might not be able to do his activities. Apart from that, yes, this is parenting. We all want to give our kids everything and let them be happy all the time. But that’s not being a good parent. I’ve taken away things before and it feels awful at the time (and also a massive inconvenience - one time we were ALL going somewhere and turned around and came back and just didn’t go even though we were all looking forward to it) but the kids really do learn. Or on the flip side, they learn the opposite bad lesson if you don’t follow through, that they can do whatever they want and get away with it.[/quote]
