[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 425585, member: 11791"] You asked about what helps change this behavior... so I had to think back, because we HAVE reduced the volume of this garbage stuff... It takes ... tons of money. Seriously. What helped the most was to find things they can be really, really, really good at, and then get them all the right stuff to be that good... so, we have (not quite literally, but close): a band room, a wood-working shop, a mechanics shop plus used stuff to work on, a huge garden, a re-done kitchen that enables 3 of us to work in there at the same time without going insane... and yes, we're broke. We've decided that spending our retirement in poverty is better than spending our retirement wishing we'd at least given the kids a chance... Nothing helps self-esteem more than success. I just wish the price tag were smaller.. [/QUOTE]
