[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246797, member: 1233"] You might have some luck with the love and logic techniques. I recommend reading the book Love and Logic Parenting or L&L Parenting of Teens. You can learn more about them at [url]www.loveandlogic.com[/url] . They specifically address ways to handle things like this. I do agree that if she breaks the rake she should have to do with-o unless she buys one with-her own $$. If she doesn't do the chore, hire someone to do it and have HER pay them. Or pawn her stuff to get the $$ to pay. If she wants her stuff back then SHE can repay the pawn shop! This IS something that is in Love and Logic, and it works best if you don't give her advance warning. Just hire a neighbor kid or whomever to do the chore, and tell her that they will be expecting payment of $X and it is hers to pay. If she can't pay, then pawn her stuff (Mp3 player, movies, cd player, tv in bedroom, game system, whatever). And then give HER the pawn ticket. [/QUOTE]
