[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the trick is to be strict 95% of the time so that once in a while you can bend the rules without it sending the wrong message. My kids know we are strict about school attendance, but once in a blue moon we just lighten up and let things ride. I think our kids appreciate it and don't take advantage because they see it as something unusual and special.[/quote] I think bending some rules are okay...extra sweets on occasion, staying up late on occasion, etc...but skipping school is a non-negotiable. [/quote] depends on the reason ... just "for fun" is not a good reason. BTW, today we have yet another day off in the Fairfax Public Schools. It is beyond me why people want more days off than we already have. Been to the zoo, museums, play dates so many times. Actually, I think it would be good if they had fewer days off. [/quote]
