Hi peeps ,
Just a quick question ..I have a 14 years old niece and she wants to get a job(to buy some extra clothes,make up etc)...But is this right ??...she may loose focus on her studies...I saw another nieces of mine work at this age and some of them the parents loose control over them becuase they think they work and have everything they need so they think they do not need their parents anymore...On the other hand it stimulate them to work for what they want but...it may leed them to fatal distractions working at so young age..just for buying extra clothes etc etc....
Am I worrying to much..?????
I will rate very high for good answers...
It's perfecty normal to worry about the children in our lives ( especially teenagers) I think it is always a good idea to let children learn responsibility and to gain a little independence is good also. school should always be a priority. The key here is balance. Since school seems to be a concern here let her know that school comes first but she can work a few hours a week or weekends to make a little extra money as long as her grades are good. If her grades drop then the job goes!! This will not only give her an opportunity to gain a little independence by making some money of her own but would also be a great incentive to take school seriously too.
