we've been locking car keys, money and phones up for years. We know we need to reduce the temptations in order for the girls to be able to be successful. If they know they can't get to "things" we seldom have problems, they don't dwell on it, don't perservere.
Has that been the right thing to do?
How is that teaching them what they need to know in order to be successful outside this home? Last summer they spent one night at my parents house, my folks don't lock anything up, so the girls stole the car.
Seriously how do you ground a child who never gets asked to go anywhere? What I'm shooting for here is a brainstorm of potential ideas to help our kids, your kids, the kid down the street. We the parents on the frontline are going to have to come up with the answers. The pro's don't know, come on everyone brainstorm! our kids are eventually going to have to live in a world full of rules, assumed responsibilities, relationships that are not based on unconditional love.
How do we save them, from themselves? Question of the century....
