Summer Reading Woes

Trouble getting your kids to do their summer reading projects?  Join the club.  Here’s a little hint.  Use a Love and Logic enforceable statement.  “Hey honey, happy to take you and your friends to the mall (or insert another exciting event) when I know your summer project is done.”  DON’T remind her to do her project.  It’s hard, I know.  When she comes looking for that ride to the mall casually ask to see her work.  She won’t disappoint you.  She’ll make excuses, possibly cry or throw a fit.  Be prepared.  Just repeat your enforceable statement over and over again, “Oh honey, happy to take you and your friends to the Mall when your project is done.”
