[QUOTE="JP0212, post: 1478305, member: 17421"] I might be a butthead, but I start taking away those things that they like. My 11 year old niece is living with me at the moment. I was apalled to find out that at her age she can not label a blank map of the US. I told her she had a whole week to learn them or I would take her $10 a week allowance. I was shocked when she didn't know them a week later. I told her she wasn't getting her allowance until she learned them. 3 weeks later she still didn't know any of them which really pissed me off. As most girls her age, she cares entirely too much about how she looks and spends a freakin hour every morning getting ready. I don't know what the hell she is doing because she is not allowed to wear makeup or anything like that. Most of it is spent doing her hair. So, since all she seems to care about is how she looks (bit of a diva), I told her if the states weren't learned within 9 days I would take everything she uses as a "beauty product" away from her. D-day was tonight. She didn't pass. Now she has only shampoo, conditioner and a bar of soap. That is all she gets until she knows every damn state. If they aren't all learned by this coming saturday night she will lose more stuff she likes. Once they are all learned, we will start over because she will then need to know the capital of each state. Then we will move on to American History. [/QUOTE]
