I have a daughter that was performing horribly in school last semester. If I recall she got 2 D’s, a few C’s and 1 B. I challenged her to get all A’s and B’s. Being at Cab she can be told she isn’t allowed to come back and that is not something I need a child to go through with all the household BS that goes on eternally. Assuming she did get all A’s and B’s I told her we would go to visit a friend in Ft. Lauderdale that moved away for a 4 day weekend. Now, the reason why I offered her this is because her older sister has straight A’s and is going to Disney today to be a full time babysitter. Her sister could miss a month of school and still be fine. In fact to give you an example of how dedicated she is, last night she was doing her homework until 11pm so she wouldn’t have as much to do in Florida.
Well, my youngest daughter who I didn’t think would be able to pull it off, did….almost so here is the QOD. I put out a carrot that I wasn’t sure would be the spur she needed. I guess flying on a plane and getting out of school is pretty neat to a kid.
On to the QOD:
If you told your child that she could go on a trip if and ONLY if she got all A’s and B’s. And she came up 1 point short in English receiving and 84.13. Would you still take her if you explicitly said, “Don’t come up 1 point short!”???
