My daughter keeps missing her curfew. What to do about it?

1 Answer

Answer :

How about if she misses her curfew during the week she isn’t allowed to go out on the weekends. It is pretty obvious that her currency is her time with her friends so this would be a logical consequence. If she is still late coming home from school insist on picking her up. The tiptoe/tomato/peach thing really has nothing to do with the behavior at hand and frankly sounds rather cruel. Not to mention that if she is still blowing through her curfew it isn’t working to curb the bad behavior.
