			<description><![CDATA[I think  that giving kids choices is a way to teach them that there are consequences, good or bad, for every choice that they make. Instead of saying, don't bother coming home if you go to your friend's house,( which implies a choice that you might not be able to enforce,) you might spell out a choi...]]></description>

You set rules and consequences then you stick to them no matter how hard they are. He currently is grounded for turning into my ex (a liar) and is attached at my hip if he's not at <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Education" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Education')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about School">school</a>.
