[quote=Anonymous]If my kid said this to me, I’d reply “You are correct. I’m not the boss of you. You are in charge of yourself. And, you are the one who will deal with the consequence that we have already discussed if X does/does not happen.” I have found it VERY important to set expectations and consequences IN ADVANCE. And then let the kid conduct himself/herself accordingly. Don’t nag. Don’t remind. Be prepared to enforce the consequences consistently and in an unemotional manner. You cannot have an emotional response. [/quote]
