It's no big secret that kids these days are being pushed beyond their natural limits. It's the way of things. The sooner you develop, the further you can go in life. It takes time to learn things. I've often wished I could be a teenager again with a mind like I have now. I know I push my ten year old, but you have to push them. In these days of latch key kids, they have to develop discipline early on. They usually don't have the luxury of a live at home mom. By the time I get home and check on whether my son has forgotten anything from school, it's too late to send him back to get it. If he forgets his key and locks himself out, I have to leave work early and lose income. If he forgets his spelling words, I can't help him study them and he subsequently gets a bad grade. HE HAS TO REMEMBER HIS RESPONSIBILITIES HIMSELF. There's no other option. It's in kids nature to forget, but it's a luxury they don't have anymore.
