I was thinking about this as I read a...Great post. I was thinking about this as I read an article this weekend abuot the "teen brain" - and arguments about whether there even was such a thing, because teens are so different in different cultures. In the US, they are mostly around their peers and learn from their peers (and so its no wonder its often "lord of the flies") while in other places, you hit teen years and you are doing adult work and socializing mostly with adults, so perhaps unsurprisingly, teens act like adults. The tie-in to this is that it then occurred to me that perhaps the best way to achieve that is have a teen get a real job where they work with adults. I may have inspired for myself a whole post on this subject, come to think of it...<BR/><BR/>I wonder how much of an allowance will be reasonable when my daughter reaches the age of six (in just over four years). I think I got ten to twenty dollars a week when I was a teenager. Probably more like twenty by the end. I don't remember when it ended.DBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805375811782552873noreply@blogger.com
