From Old/NO to New/GO.... You seem to have a real bug up your butt about risk/reward calculation, and especially about teaching children to calculate risk and reward. I know how you hate real-world examples, but face it, every one of our kids, before leaving the teens, will probably be tempted to drive after drinking, or to have unprotected sex, or to accept a ride from a friendly stranger, or to experiment with crack or speed, etc., etc. What would you want your kid to say under such circumstances, GO or NO? And how do you expect a kid who has never been taught to balance risk and reward to make an intelligent decision? The job of a parent is not to teach a kid to say GO or NO, or to teach that one is better than the other. The job of a parent is to teach that there are times when GO is the right move, and times when NO is the right move, and ways to tell the difference. I think you know that's true; I'm curious to see if you'll admit it.
