[quote=Anonymous]I vote for manual labor Mowing the lawn is now part of their chore list or add cooking once a week Even if they caused a fire - get them back on the horse and keep up on adding responsibility to help them to grow. You'll have to live with the ugly lawn, and boring food (although try to teach simple foods - ie roasted chicken) A 12 year old is at a rough self -esteem age. They goofed up big, but they need to not quit and you need to continue to give them more responsibilities. As they age they aren't going to get more responsible if you don't give them responsibility. I hate to say this twice - but get them back on the horse ASAP[/quote]
