I really wanted to leave such specifics alone. What will work in one community may not work in another. It really comes down to values.
We need people that help kids see their abilities early so that they can maximize them. Have that work ethic, community, family life, and teaching their kids.
It is such an in-depth issue, but I do work on me, and what my kids see in me. I spend time with them and I take care of part of the house. We do service work on Saturdays.
My kids are grown so we have a bit more time. I told them that if they stay past their 18 B-day and HS graduation, they paid 200 rent. Well unless they were scheduled for college in fall, then they just still had chores.
Anyway, I just don't see the news talking about parenting and community responsibilities to report something that seems rather odd. The Police currently go to do safety checks on houses if someone calls them.
Families, as a situational resource, seem to have drifted in a bad direction.
Personal, family, and community values. They should be taught early.
